Mammogram results : It sounds like you are referring to a mammogram report. If a mammogram finds a suspicious lesion then a sonogram may be ordered. Alternatively based on the specific findings a surgery consult for a breast biopsy may be ordered. Individual cases must be assessed individually.

Accepted Answer

Additional tests: Incomplete means additional studies are required.  Possible reasons are that the radiologist wants a magnified look at a specific area, that the breasts are dense and a sonogram is indicated, or that old studies are required for comparison to make sure there are no changes. It does not mean it was done incorrectly.

It is a benign tumor: Fibroadenoma is a common condition among the young females. The diagnosis is frequently made on physical examination and confirmed with a mammogram. A biopsy is not required unless it starts to grow and increase in size. So you can watch it for 6 months up to one year and note any change in size and have a follow up visit with your doctor at least once yearly.
