What Does " Scattered Densities" Mean In A Mammogram?

Hi - I've been asked to have a diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound of my right breast as my regular mammogram showed scattered densities. I also have pain in my right shoulder (6 months now) - I thought it was due to ergo reasons but now I'm more worried. Should I be worried and what is the chance that this is cancer? Thanks.

Hi,

Scattered density may indicate fat deposits. Fibroadenosis has to be ruled out by doing an ultrasound.

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