What Does Mammography Report Suggest? Biopsy Recommended And Scattered Fibrolinear Elements Present In Both Breast
My second mammo came back and i now need a biopsy, what does it mean when the results say microcalcifications at the upper and outer anterior left breast are reidentified on magnified view and are not specifically behign??? Also The grouped Calcifications in the upper outer left breast are indeterminate, stereotactic guided biopsy is recommended. there are also scattered fibrolinear elements in both breasts. not sure what that means. Do i have breast cancer

Hi and welcome to HCM,thank you for your query.
This indicates moderate risk of breast cancer,but still this is more benign that malignant lesion. However,thats reason why biopsy is indicated and it will reveal the exact diagnosis. Ultarsound should be done too. You dont have to be very concerned but further diagnostic tests are necessary-.
Wish you good health. Regards.
