Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
If your follow up mammogram and sonomammogram along with blood test are showing normal results, there is little reason to worry. If not visualized in mammogram, sonomammogram usually shows even smallest spots in the breast. I am sure your doctors have seen all breast areas before giving a normal report.
There are occasional intramammary lymph nodes seen anywhere in the breast and they have characteristic appearance on ultrasound. They are not seen in every woman but might be present in few. If present, they are documented on the report.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back in case of doubts.
Regards,
Dr.Vivek
