A member asked:
I have a 1.5cm lump in breast, ultrasound didn't show anything but sending me to a surgeon? what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible biopsy: Ultrasound and even mammo unless re examined by MRI can miss up to 20% of lesions. When a surgeon feels a solitary well defined lump, if it is ballotable meaning possible fluid present then an aspiration is performed. If questionable, an FNA follows. If signs of malignancy present such as skin retraction then an excisional biopsy should be performed in an ambulatory facility.
