Screening Showed 3 Lumps. Told A Hypoechoic Lesion Consistent With A Fatty Lobule. Have Family History Of Breast Cancer. Prognosis?

Can you tell from a ultrasound examination if you do not have cancer. My screening showed 3 lumps and I was told it is a hypoechoic lesion consistent with a fatty lobule. I am still worried as I have a family history of breast cancer. I was told to come back in two years. Diagnosis. Benign breast changes. Kind regards Soynia

Hi, thanks for calling Health care magic forum.
It is the primary examination, it cant give diagnosis, but can exclude malignancy. If some features are not seen like vascularity pattern, etc they exclude the malignancy. If present proceed for biopsy, and mammogram etc.
As there are benign changes, they called after 2 years, to see whether there is transfermation of benign tissues to malignant changes.
Wishing for a positive health. Thank you.
