A member asked:
Abnormal cells found in breast cyst aspirate. cells chunkier than normal. what could cause this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Your doc must answer: As a pathologist, I use many different words but "chunkier" isn't one that's familiar to me from breast biopsy aspirate work. You have a right to a complete explanation -- any chance of cancer? -- from the pathologist if your primary care physician or whoever did the aspirate cannot answer for you.
