What are common breast biopsy results?

Benign: A biopsy is usually triggered by a clinically detected lesion/mass or an abnormal finding (calcification) identified on a screening mammogram. While many biopsies are benign, cancer is also detected. Benign lesions are fibrocystic changes, fibroadenomas, silicone granuloma, fat necrosis. Malignant breast tumors are usually ductal or lobular carcinoma, whereas other tumors are rare.

Benign: Almost 85 % of breast biopsies are benign.
