A member asked:
I'm 25 years old. i just discovered i have a septated cyst sized 9*4 mm in breast. my grandmother and aunt just got breast cancer. what's your advice?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends.: If the septation is thin, then the chance of malignancy is near zero. If the septation is thick, irregular, or vascular, then the lesion is more suspicious and biopsy may be necessary. So more information about the septated cyst is needed.
