Overlapping: tissue is normal. Since a mammogram is a two dimensional representation of a three dimensional object, the occasional overlap of normal tissue superimposed on normal tissue behind it, or in front of it, sometimes looks like an abnormality. Extra views are then necessary to spread out the tissue and prove that it is normal. Only normal tissue will spread out. Real masses persist on extra views.
