can anyone tell me what all this means? It's my uttasound results. I had a benign mass last year removed n this one showed up. Have another biopsy in two weeks. I'm wondering if there's a sort of breast disease that keeps causing these masses? Any help w explaining this to me would be a little relief until I get the final testing. Thank


8 mm hypoechoic mass identified anteriorly in the lateral left breast
at approximately 3:00 location. This has mildly irregular margins and
is without enhanced through transmission. Sharp edge shadows are
noted on several images. This sonographic abnormality projects at the
level corresponds to the mass noted on recent mammograms. Again, the
mammographic abnormality is not confirmed on prior mammograms.

Impression:

Indeterminate 8 mm hypoechoic mass projecting at a level that
corresponds to the recently described mammographic abnormality.
Recommend proceeding to ultrasound-guided biopsy.

FINAL ASSESSMENT: BI-RADS 4: Suspicious findings. Immediate

    You don't seem to know what your benign mass last time was. If it was a benign fibroadenoma, then yes, it could be another. 60% of women have fibrocystic breasts and some of those are "good" at growing fibroadenomas.

    Your ultrasound just confirms what the mammogram showed. It has somewhat irregular margins, so they wan't to check it out tosee what it is.

    70% of birads 4 are benign. Birads 4 readings are used to recommend biopsy.

    Sucks, but the odds are on your side.

    Good luck!
