What Does The Following Mammogram Report Indicate?
Question: I had a mammogram done last april 2016 then again in october 2016, both times they saw a small area 8mm soft tissue they are keeping an eye on, the Radiologist says she only see's it on one view not 2 or 3 views, what does that mean?
Brief Answer:
Ultrasound required
Detailed Answer:
Hi and Welcome,
This is a very small lesion and there are no features of malignancy. I don't think that you should be concerned but you should do ultrasound to see if this tissue can be biopsied with fine needle.
If this can't be seen on lateral views then it means that it had very small width and this is a good sign.
Feel free to ask further.
Wish you good health.
Regards

Can you please review my mammogram and ultrasound and tell me what you think? Thank you
Do you recommend an MRI or biopsy?

Brief Answer:
Follow-up consultation
Detailed Answer:
Hi, You're welcome.
I've reviewed the reports.
Biopsy is definitely not required and MRI can be done after 6 months, instead of ultrasound and mamography. It is not necessary to do MRI scan now.

I did this mammogram and ultrasound on October 29, 2016, should i wait till my 6 mos for follow up or should i do to confirm anything? Is MRI a more accurate test or are these reports good enough?
Brief Answer:
hi
Detailed Answer:
MRi is more accurate and most sensitive test for breast so it will clear this out. But I dont think it is necessary to do it urgently and you can wait for few months. Anything suspicious would be detected with ultrasound and mamogram...
