A member asked:
If a dig mamm says irregular focal asymetric density found in rb. is this a thickening or a mass finding. what is it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
hard to say: They are describing something that isn't a mass and they don't think looks like cancer, but isn't normal either. Your best consultant in this is the doctor who ordered the mammogram, who will speak to the radiologist, and see if other tests (like ultrasound or mri) could define the problem, and/or whether a biopsy is needed.
