Waiting on second mammogram

Schwigd

I went in for my first mammogram on recommendation of my PCF due to swollen lymph nodes under my left arm that come and go on the left side. These are the results of my first mammogram results, I have a diagnostic mammogram scheduled with possible ultrasound for Monday. What does all of this mean? I am hoping it is just a fluke/shadow... is that even possible?

The tissue density of both breasts are heterogenously dense, which may obscure small masses.

There is an asymmetry within the medial anterior one third depth right breast seen only on cc view. No suspicious calcifications or other significant findings.

In the left breast no suspicious masses, calcifications, or other significant findings.

IMPRESSION:

1. Right breast asymmetry.

2. There is no mammographic evidence of malignancy in the left breast.
