Lola Weippert goes public with a diagnosis. The good news: the tumor is benign. In a video, the 28-year-old makes an important appeal to her followers.
TV presenter Lola Weippert (“Temptation Island”) has been diagnosed with a tumor in her breast. The 28-year-old announced this in a video on her Instagram channel after an examination. “As of now, hopefully good news: It is and hopefully will remain a benign tumor,” she said. However, since the tumor has grown, she will now be referred to the Charité. “And then it will be punched and then I will hopefully get good results.”

Often only the removal and examination of a tissue sample provides final clarity as to whether a change in the breast is benign or malignant. In a so-called punch biopsy, a small amount of tissue is removed from the new growth using a hollow needle, usually under local anesthesia. Many changes in the breast are benign and do not increase the risk of breast cancer.
The influencer appealed to her more than 700,000 followers to go for regular check-ups: “Do it for yourself, do it for your body.” In conversations with her friends, she was shocked to discover that many of them had not been to their gynecologists for years.
