3mm by 5mm slightly prominent hypoechoic area in right breast, well defined, round , wider than taller no posterior shadowing, likely benign?folow up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You are describing: a BIRADS 3(probably benign) lesion based on the ultrasound features. By definition, there is less than 2% chance of malignancy, and the usual management in an average risk patient is short interval follow up, typically every 6 months for 2 years.
