A mammogram showed a grape sized white area. the mammogram was redone and the white area is gone, butthere are white irregular vein type shapes spread out. is itokay?

No problem: The mass was absent on what spinster a diagnostic mammogram so that's good. The vein type shapes can actually be blood vessels which frequently show up on mammogram. Can also be benign breast tissue. Only thing that cod have been added is a focused trapping at the site of the original abnormality. Anyway, you are fine. Just continue self examination and routine follow up mammography.

See below: 1. Need to review mammogram film report in detail with your doctor 2 self breast examination very useful tool 3 if any symptoms or signs in that area or past biopsies or irregularities that persist then go back for more testing --such as dedicated us or mri.

Compression: Sounds like you might have had insufficient compression of the breast during the first mammo which allowed for superimposition of densities which were spread out when you had better compression on the repeat study. Be glad, being gone is good!

Yes, it is possible: Initial mammogram may have not had enough compression in that spot, or the overlapping structures may have caused a "summation shadow". The spot views provide focal compression over the area of concern and spread out the tissues more, to make sure there is nothing of concern in that area.

I can't provide: an interpretation based on a description. What is the BIRADS code at the bottom of the report? This is the radiologist 's final opinion of the lesion. 1= normal, 2= benign, 3=probably benign, 4= suspicious, 5 = highly suspicious
