Inconclusive: If no lymphoid tissue on biopsy, it's inconclusive and should be repeated. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!

Unlikely: The adipose tissue and muscle fragments represent normal tissues in the axillary region. If the reason for the biopsy was an enlarged lymph node, you will need to have an additional procedure performed. This may be as a repeat FNA or a surgical excision. The reason why the lymph node is enlarged has not been answered.
