Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
A hypoechoic SOL in breast with irregular margins must be evaluated completely including pathological tests to rule out a cancer. The presence of axillary lymph node may be indicative of a neoplastic process. Even if it is a cancer it might be in very early stages and responsive to treatment completely. It is best that she gets evaluated by an oncology screening team and take necessary treatment.
