Is A Lump In The Right Breast A Cause For Concern?

I am a 56 year old male with a lump in my right breast. I have a mammogram scheduled for December 1 and I m just starting to get scared. I already fight lupus which is most of the time women and now this. I am a manly man but starting to worry that God may have decided to play some tricks on my body!

Hello, thanks for asking on healthcare magic. Any lump or swelling on the body should be evaluated. Simple procedures are mammography in your case and a fine needle aspiration cytology. In FNAC a fine needle is passed into the swelling, some of its constituent cells are broken and aspirated. Then smears are prepared on slides of this aspirated material, stained and examined under a microscope. Mostly a diagnosis can be made benign or malignant on FNAC. Further course of action depends upon diagnosis. Thanks.
