March 5, 2014 comparison is made to previous studies the mammary tissue is heterogeneously dense which lowers the sensitivity of mammography. apparently new compared to previous studies is a smoothly marginated 7mm low density ovoid nodule a

See a surgeon: you are describing a breast lump the majority are benign it sound from your description that it is a solid lump so you need to see a surgeon that can perform in his office fine needle aspiration FNA to make sure it is benign and to follow the lump for any changes in size or shape good luck

I don't have the : full report, but it sounds like there might be a new finding on screening mammography. The next step is usually a more complete imaging evaluation with diagnostic mammography and probably ultrasound. A final diagnostic code(BIRADS) for the nodule will be determined based on the imaging findings: benign(no followup),probably benign(6 month f/u), suspicious, highly suspicious( needle biopsy )

Need evaluation: Since this is a new nodule, additional evaluation is needed. The radiologist might have suggested diagnostic mammogram to include compression images and possible ultrasound. If a nodule is confirmed, then you may need to get a biopsy, preferably by a breast surgeon or a radiologist who is experienced in image guided breast biopsy.
