A member asked:
I can feel my breast lump higher in my breast than i could before my stereotactic biopsy. could it have moved, or is it likely bigger?

Likely larger: There may be some blood collection in the lump after the biopsy. The swelling will go down in the next few days. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!

Inflammation : The biopsy procedure itself causes mild swelling/inflammation of surrounding tissue which adds a little bit to the size of the mass.
