A member asked:

Area of distortion on ultrasound came back as benign breast tissue. been a year and area remains unchanged in appearance. unlikely cancer?

Probably: All test results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Wish you good health!
