A member asked:
What is the regular size of an intramammary lymph node? could be confused with a lipoma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Less than 2 cm: Some times very small ones may be confused with lipoma , but experienced radiologist will not , as each has its own distinct finger prints, by way of appearance , density or grey scale etc of course any density in breast calls for a concern , some times need core biopsy of the area to make sure that there is no malignancy.
