A member asked:
Are isoechoic and hypoecoic nodules and cysts cancerous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Are you referring: to breast ultrasound? Simple cysts are benign, cysts with solid components are more suspicious. Isoechoic and hypoechoic masses can be benign or malignant. The probability of malignancy depends on other ultrasound features. Some need biopsy, some can be followed or ignored.
