What Do My Ultrasound Scan Test Results Indicate?

Brief Answer:
MRI should be done
Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome to HCM.
Breast lesions should always be clarified especially in your age as in modern times it is advisable to do MRI if any breast focal change is seen even if there is no mamographic or ultrasound feature of suspicious malignancy.
So,generally, chances for cancer are very low considering these findings but it can't be ruled out 100% and if you are able to do MRI then you should do it.
Wish you good health.
Regards
