Update and New Question Re:15 yr. old and Breast Discharge

I did take my daughter to a breast specialist today. This doctor did
examine her breasts and felt lumps on both breasts. She also did a
sonagram and diagnosed a cyst on one breast just above the nipple and
said the lump on the other breast again just above the nipple was a
papilloma. I felt very comfortable with this doctor and her
explainations. Surgery will be scheduled soon so that the papilloma can
be removed and the cyst asperated. I didn't think to ask her about the
name "papilloma". I know the "P" in HPV is papilloma and can lead to
pre cancerous cells in the cervix. Can the same thing happen in the
breast? Will she have greater chances of breast cancer later in life?
Thanks again for all your information. :)
