A nodule is a lesion observed on your mammogram other than normal breast tissue. It can be benign or malignant.
Your radiologist may like to have further images called spot films of the breast to characterize it further. It will require FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology) for evalution.
Please discuss it with your doctor.
