U/s usually: Distinguishes solid from fluid filled cyst. A core biopsy isclearly solid, but path discerns benign v. Malignant.

It sounds like: it was a solid mass. Yes, more apt for cancer, but there is probably at least an 80% of it being benign.

Had mamo and ultrasound of breast- said not cancer, just a cyst but watch it for 6 months--see surgeon then if needed. Should I have had a biopsy too?

Should I be worried that I have a 6-month follow-up mammo and ultrasound of one breast that had a benign biopsy? It did have one other complicated cyst that wasnt biopsied. Homogeneous fibroglandular tissue. No family history of cancer?
