A member asked:
Dr used 18 gauge needle for breast core biopsy because lesion was small(4x7mm). results were benign. does this make sense?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sure,,: This just means you've had a breast biopsy that yielded benign tissue from this lesion indicating that it is of a benign type of lesion. You can discuss with your doctor what you want to do next, like take it out depending on where in your breast it's located. Best if luck.
