Question 1

i had a mammogram n they found lumps then i had an ultrasound of my breasts n only found mass tissue that wasn't cancerous can tje mass tissue turn int?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely need tests: At 44  yes have to be concerned , if you have any abnormality , will need close observation . Most likely you have thick dense breast tissue , if you have lumps and masses one will feel them which you don't have , you have densities by xray only. Speak to your md will advise you if  need  MRI of breasts or even core needle  biopsy of the area , don't forget to go for follow up visits. Good luck.

Question 2

i form lumps in my breast they are not a mass and one of them is not a cyst they done ultrasound and mammogram but it still scared me what is it?

Accepted Answer

Lump: Being scared is a normal feeling. However, do not let  the fear take over your life. If no strong family history of breast/ovarian cancer, having a normal mammo and sono are sufficient and they should put your mind on ease. F/u with your md and have annual clinical breast exam and you can also do self breast check.But, if you are at high risk-strong family history-mri need to be considered. D/w  md.

Question 3

how long after a lumpectomy for benign lump will scar tissue show up on a mammagram my was 10 yrs ago. they found a density mass in rb could it be can?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Unlikely it's showing this late.

Question 4

is it normal for an ultrasound be done immediately after a mammogram if a mass shows up.

Accepted Answer

Yes.: It is common to followup a mammogram that shows some sort of mass with an ultrasound to further characterize that mass. A fluid-filled cyst, for example, has very different potential than a solid mass, and this is the kind of info you can get from an ultrasound.

Question 5

mammogram & sonogram  found circumscribed, round,
equal-density mass 4x2x3. 6 mos later rescan shows 3x4x1. told low risk/prob benign. 6 mos later it is no longer seen on mammo or ultrasound. can that be possible to miss on both?

Accepted Answer

: If the mammogram and sonogram were done at the same imaging location, certain kinds of breast cysts can resolve spontaneously. The important finding for potential breast cancer is a serious of light calcifications, which do not "disappear", and do require biopsy. It is unlikely that with the former location of the mass "known", that a tech or physician would "miss" this finding.

Question 6

just squeezed left boob and a drop of old blood came out. is this normal? im 38. year old female. is this residual from breastfeeding? show i worry? no lumps just had mammogram in january.

Accepted Answer

Exam!: Bleeding from the nipples is often the result of some sort of trauma or friction &amp; often not cause for great concern. This is also sometimes associated with breastfeeding. Other possible causes include infection, benign intraductal papillomas &amp; breast cancer. Therefore I strongly suggest you have a complete exam at a medical clinic as soon as possible. I wish you well with your health!

Question 7

i am 32 year old. had mammogram n ultrasound. report says one 4 mm hypoechoic mass and the superficial breast tissue thickened and edematous. i did not understand the breast tissue edematous part. i googled,everything shows ibc. what is it exactly??

Accepted Answer

BREAST EXAM REQUIRED: Your mammogram is not normal--breast malignancy vs. cyst are possible.  I would have breast exam ASAP.

Question 8

mammogram doubts neoplastic process, scan shows well lobulated solid mass,wider than taller,family history of 2 sis of breast cancer..d/d plz

Accepted Answer

It sounds: like you had a breast ultrasound as well. Obviously limited info and incomplete description, but based on those descriptors, it is probably a BIRADS category 3 lesion(98% or greater chance of being benign).  Most commonly, a mass with this description is a benign fibroadenoma.

Question 9

can a mammogram show whether a lump is benign or not?

Accepted Answer

No: A mammogram shows characteristics of a lump that make it more likely to be benign or malignant. The mammogram is given a bi-rads score of 0 to 6.  A score of 3 is indeterminate, and 4 is suspicious for cancer.  The only way to know absolutely is to have a biopsy.  This site gives more info about bi-rads:  http://www.Breast-cancer.Ca/screening/bi-rads.Htm.

Question 10

painless small hard lump posterior axila normal mammogram did not show it at all would you recommend biopsy or further testing?

Accepted Answer

Both: Not all mammograms can get high enough in the axilla to see it.  For just such instances i recommend ultrasound . It can give you a lot of information. Don't delay. See your doctor.
