A member asked:
What is the lump in the breast be if nothing showed up on the ultrasound?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fat lobules: And prominent glandular tissue can feel lumpy on physical exam and not be seen on ultrasound. Not all tumors are seen on mammography and your doctor can guide you as to whether there is a clinical concern that might require close followup or biopsy.
