welcome to Health care magic.
1.Yes, Possibilities to be a breast cancer are there. ( ill-defined margins ).
2.Additionnal lumps and auxiliary lymph nodes are also seen in both benign and malignant lesions.
3.No one can give 100% diagnosis based on the imaging features. An FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology , biopsy are the confirmatory.
4.Suggest to get FNAC/Biopsy done and needful treatment according to the findings.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
