Question 1

mammo shows asymmetry at superior in breast seen only on mlo view.spot compression view reveals asymmetry dispersed into normal glandular tissue. ?

Accepted Answer

Normal: Abnormal breast masses will not compress out but imaging artifact will.  All imaging studies have a multitude of technical reasons why one single view could show something that really isn't there at all.  Multiple views and other techniques like spot compression will tend to give a better picture of equivocal findings.

Question 2

what to do if i am here in this radiologist office because i hve do a breast spot compression i'm a bit worried cuz i'm 43 n my sister had breast cancer shld?

Accepted Answer

About 10% of: the time, the radiologist finds a potential abnormality on the screening mammo, or an area not well seen, requiring extra views to evaluate.  80% of the time this turns out to be nothing of concern.  Of the remainder that go to biopsy, 80% of those turn out benign.

Question 3

how frequently does a spot compression lead to a breast cancer diagnosis?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes: Spot compression is used to determine if an area of abnormal appearing tissue on a mammogram spreads out like normal breast tissue or holds together densely like a more worrisome mass. Usually it spreads out and you forget it. Even when it leads to a biopsy because it doesn't compress it doesn't by  any means absolutely mean cancer, it just increases those chances.
