It sounds like: the mammogram had a concerning finding that could not be visualized on the ultrasound. The lipomas are benign, but the mammographic abnormality needs further evaluation. You should talk to your doctor, but it sounds like he/she may be contemplating biopsy for the mammo finding.

See breast doctor: A breast surgeon will put all the pieces together to get the definitive answer or recommend a biopsy. He/She will get a history, perform breast exam and look at your films. If a biopsy is needed, make sure it is a needle biopsy and NOT a surgical biopsy. Just because you are seeing a surgeon, does not mean you need surgery. Good luck!!
