Likely benign: Imaging of the breast is imperfect at best. Heterogeneity in the breast is a common finding typically leading to class ii or birads 2 result on the mammogram. This is almost always a benign finding and is typical of a one-year follow-up repeat mammogram. The procedure is generally very low risk with very low levels of radiation. Get a clinical breast exam from your doctor and repeat mammo.

Sounds good: I assume you are quoting from a breast ultrasound report. All of the statements you quote are normal. Doctors like to list the important negative findings when they do a report. In other words, the doctor did not find any of the worrisome signs we look for on breast ultrasound. I hope that helps.
