A member asked:
Had a mammo & breast ultrasound said 9mm beingn cyst cluster left breast & stable benign appearing 3mm ovoid hypoechoic area what does this mean?

Mammogram: A "9mm cluster" which is "benign" represents calcium granules which are not considered pre-malignant. The "3 mm ovoid hypo-echoic area" is just a fluid containing cyst or a fat tumor, if it is "benign appearing". Get annual digital mammograms to follow this, and if you have a strong family history of breast disease, ask about an MRI of both breasts, which is more accurate.
