See details: You need to discuss the results with the ordering physician. Nodules can be benign or not. The mammogram cannot be interpreted without being able to see it first hand.

Breast nodules: Hi, Breast Nodules are characterized by their appearance, we would need more information and you would need an ultrasound and diagnostic mammogram to characterize them further. It may means various things ( from calcifications to benign lesions to more aggressive ones) depending upon your age and risk factors, which will all depend upon further history & imaging as mentioned Thank you

Depends: The nature of the nodule could be benign or cystic, or cancer. Careful work up by Breast radiology and surgeon needed.
