What it's mean in mammogram results: breast is somewhat nodular"?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
"Lumpy" breasts: Nodular breasts are felt as "lumpy" breasts as the underlying breast tissue does not have a smooth or consistent appearance on mammogram. Breast cancer has been known to "hide" in nodular breast tissue on mammogram, so do your monthly breast self exam and note any differences to your MD>

It doesn't really: mean anything, it is a vague and nonspecific statement, not part of the standard ACR BIRADS mammography lexicon. It is not describing any specific abnormality.
