I am 51 year old woman called back for first time changes in a mammogram. Images of my left breast led to an ultrasound and while sitting in the waiting room the radiologist comes out shakes my hand and says this bad I faintly hear the cancer word followed by might be benign followed by you have to have this biopsied any questions. I say no and stumble out the door back to work on Friday afternoon. They tell me my doctor who ordered the routine mammogram will call in 1-2 days. I look up my patient portal tonight and all I can read is achritecual distortion uoq left breast. I ve made myself sick this weekend and have to wait till tomorrow for more news. What doctor says this to a patient. What did he see?

Hello,

Architectural distortion means distortion of the breast tissue with out any definite lump or mass. It is often due to something called desmoplastic reaction secondary to previous surgery or biopsy. Healed infections can also cause this picture. You can consult a general surgeon and plan for a biopsy form the distorted breast tissue to confirm a diagnosis.
