A member asked:
Ct chest found mass behind my nipple they said could possibly be a cyst but needs urgent work up.if they think cyst why do i need urgent work up. does this flag cancer suspicion. im 32 cant they tell difference between cyst & cancer mass on ct?

Any "mass" found "behind" the areola needs a tissue diagnosis at age "32", especially if close female relatives have breast cancer histories. A "mas" can be partially cystic, and the CT is therefore helpful in determination of the need for biopsy.
