Translation to put me at ease, pretty please!

First time poster, full time worrier.

I went in for an ultrasound on a palpable lump on Thursday and only just now found the Radiology Report. I understand it a little bit, but not entirely sure. I am booked in for a biopsy Monday.

Right Breast.

In the right axillary region, there is a 15 x 8 x 21 mm heterogenous lesion of slightly angulated configuration and internal vascularity.

There are no other concerning masses. There is an 8 mm cyst at 10 o'clock.

The tissues underlying the nipple-areolar complex likewise normal.

Left Breast.

A few tiny simple cysts are noted.

There are no concerning masses. The tissues underlying the nipple-areolar complex likewise normal. Axillary content is normal.

COMMENT.

The right axillary lesion is of indeterminate nature, possibly a fibroadenoma in the axillary tail. Ultrasound-guided biopsy is advised.

Uncomplicated cysts in the remainder of both breasts.

Right breast. BIRADS 4 Left breast. BIRADS 2

Any advice or translations or anything at all would be very appreciated.

Left breast BIRADs2= benign findings. No treatment needed.

Rt breast BIRADs4 = moderately suspicious; possibly a benign fibroadenoma. Approx 80% of BIRADs4 will be benign. Ultrasound guided biopsy advised.

Hi, mustlovepoodles already posted, but we are sharing a page that could be helpful to you:

Mammogram Results: Breast Imaging Reporting and Database System (BI-RADS)

It sounds like they will need to do some additional testing.

We are all here for you, and hope it all is to be benign!

Odds are with you for right breast. Left breast, there should be no further testing needed. You passed.

The lack of concerning masses is good.

Lesions can certainly be benign.
