A member asked:
Biopsy for breast "area"came back as benign lactational changes.concordant. report said '7x4mm hypoechoic vascular area'. what does the vascular mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blood vessels?: Vascular area on ultrasound usually mean areas with increased blood flow, and sometimes mean the vessels themselves. Since the patient is lactating, the breast is very metabolically active, and needs increased blood flow, so the blood vessels are larger. Biopsy results concordant and benign, which is good news.
