hi I am 56 years old woman . I had my mammography recently. In mammography there was a partly well defines density seen in right retro areolar region measuring 23*10 mm with speck of calcification within , M3 . There was no significant axillary lymphadenopathy - BIRAD -3. Ultrasound correlation was suggested. In Ultrasound, in the area of mammographic abnormality at supra areolar edge there is 15*8 mm lobulated low echogenic lesion seen posteriorly in retro glandular tissue (U3 ) . No other focal abnormality is seen in the right breast. BIRAD3 Pls advise whether the lesion can be malignant
