66 years old, mammogram shows tiny subcentimeter density within the right retroareolar breast on cc view. what does this mean?

Abnormal Mammogram : A density or "spot" on a m'gram requires further evaluation, which may include reviewing prior m'gram's, a diagnostic m'gram, and/or an ultrasound. This closer look will allow us to categorize this as "probably benign" (requiring 6 month follow-up) or "suspicious" (requiring a biopsy). Hope this helps!

Retroareolar density: It means there may be a small mass behind the nipple. It is uncertain because it is apparently not seen on the other view. Additional mammo views and possible ultrasound are probably needed to determine whether there is actually something abnormal there, and if so what it might be.
