Found a complex cyst but no biopsy ordered ?

According to one of the articles cited by meeshodge, a complex cyst should be BI-RADS 4 and biopsy is recommended.
“Because complex cysts are associated with varying incidences of malignancy, they were assigned BIRADS categories 4 or 5 and biopsy was recommended.”
Now I’m confused! Maybe you can show him the article and ask for clarification. Ask questions until you’re satisfied with the answer. Some doctors are irritated when you ask lots of questions, but it’s your health and you pay them. If you can, go for 2nd opinion.
A complex cyst can still be benign (also according to the article)

I think if it has malignant features it should be rated birad 3,4,5 and biopsies is my understanding

My problem is I read too much into details and sometimes it scares the hell out of me. Like I said before, I don’t have medical training. These are just my own opinions and they may be wrong.
