    My pathology report came back with ruptured cyst, giant cell reaction, fibrosis, and chronic inflammation.

    My dr said the ruptured cyst is what’s causing the inflammation which doesn’t make sense, the radiologist actually ruptured my cyst during the biopsy. Chronic inflammation is something that’s been there for more than just that day.

    I read several articles that say chronic inflammation has ties to cancer and should have short-term more frequent follow up. However my dr didn’t even want to talk about the chronic inflammation. She said it’s not cancer and I shouldn’t worry and we can go back to annual mammo.

    Confused...

    Your biopsy findings are pretty specific

    Pathology: benign breast tissue with a ruptured cyst with foreign body giant cell reaction, fibrosis, and chronic inflammation. No evidence of invasive or in-situ carcinoma. An immunostain for CAM5.2 is negative in the lesional area, confirming the benign diagnosis.

    I would talk to my doctor again and insist that it was explained to me until I understood what those findings mean

    Thank you melissadallas. Do you think the report should also state “. No evidence of invasive or in-situ carcinoma. An immunostain for CAM5.2 is negative in the lesional area, confirming the benign diagnosis.“...it doesn’t

    i have no idea. Your report indicates benign findings. You need someone to explain so that you understand why.
