Dr. Michael Gabor answered

Specializes in Diagnostic Radiology

Most: are benign, but sometimes there is a cancer. Get the lump evaluated by your physician. Your mom will likely need a mammogram and breast ultrasound. The need for biopsy will depend on the results of the physical exam and imaging studies.
