How common is cancer in the retroareolar of the breast. i have fibroglandular densities in this area?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Needs testing: Breast cancer can occur in any part of the breast, including the retroareolar zone. Depending on the appearance on mammogram or ultrasound, additional evaluation may involve an MRI or biopsy. Another important factor is to observe this area on previous breast imaging that you have had to understand whether it is a stable or evolving feature.
