A member asked:

Architectural distortion in left breast with spiked out margins. what can that mean? can trauma for a car accident cause this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Breast problem: I presume your description is that of a mammogram or other imaging report about the breast. Prior injury with scarring might cause some image abnormalities, a biopsy would be the only way to be more certain. You should discuss this with whomever ordered the study as soon as possible
