What Does this ultrasound Result Mean?

Trying to determine results my daughters recent breast ultrasound. She needs a biopsy, which is scheduled. Birads 4. So far all I know is a 1.4 cm x 1.6 cm x 0.8cm oval mass with circumscribed and angular margin in the right breast 8 oclock anterior depth 3 cm from the nipple. this oval mass is hypoechoic, and it correlates with mammography. color flow imaging shows increased vascularity. Everything I have read leans to the malignancy. I need your opinion please.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Irregular hypoechoic masses in the breast do not always indicate malignancies. Many benign breast diseases present with irregular hypoechoic masses that can mimic carcinoma on ultrasonography.

Some of these diseases such as inflammation and trauma-related breast lesions could be suspected from a patient's symptoms and personal history.

Careful ultrasonographic examination and biopsy could help to differentiate these from malignancies.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
