Get sono: Male breast cancer is not common. If your mammogram shows something there- i would pursue further with sonogram of the breast to evaluate more on the nodule. If it is suspicious- i would do a biopsy and will go from there.

Intramammary : lymph nodes are normal incidental findings on mammography. If it is definitively a lymph node by mammo criteria, and if there are no suspicious features, then no further workup or follow up is necessary. It is considered a benign finding. If there is some uncertainty about whether it is a lymph node, or if there are atypical or suspicious features, additional imaging and/or biopsy may be needed
