A member asked:

What does a foreign body giant cell reaction with a mild periducal inflammation mean from a breast biospy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not cancer: Leakage of fluid from a damaged duct may induce inflammation around the area of the damage. This is a natural, normal response. It is neither cancer nor pre-cancerous.
