What Does A Lump On The Breast Indicate?
I had a breast biopsy this week for a tiny lump. During the procedure the doctor said the lump rolled like a cyst and the ultrasound tech confirmed that the image disappeared after he pierced it with the needle. He took 1 sample rather than the 4 anticipated. He said this was the best outcome he sees and he thought I had nothing to worry about. The results came back intraductory papilloma. Tho relieved with the beniegn results, does this result jive with the doctor telling me that it was a cyst and that it disappeared when pierced? Does a papilloma behave this way? I feel unsettled about the two different diagnoses. Thanks

Respected user , Hi
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query thoroughly .
* As per the biopsy confirmation your lump is benign ( not cancer ) .
* The finding of disappearance with needle piercing seems unusual but
may be possible in certain cystic lesions out of expectations .
Hope this clears your query .
