Breast Density with multiple cyst. Recent Birads 4
Breast Cancer | Last Active: Dec 5, 2021 | Replies (13)Comment receiving replies
I have the highest level of density. Also, numerous simple and complex cysts. The ultrasound was order as a stepping stone to an MRI. The US showed heterogenous focal region/lesion with posterior acoustic shadowing. A biopsy was ordered. Just this morning I got my results back via mychart, have not talked to my doctor. The finding Ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy of a 0.7 cm heterogeneous lesion with shadowing at 9:00, 10 cm from the nipple in the right breast,
marked with a bowtie clip. Pathology demonstrates intraductal papilloma,
which is high risk and concordant with the imaging assessment. Surgical
management is recommended.
Final Diagnosis
1. Breast, Right, 9 o'clock, 10 cm from Nipple: Benign breast tissue
with
A. Florid ductal hyperplasia of the usual type.
B. Mild chronic inflammation.
C. Microcalcifications in non-neoplastic tissue.
D. Apocrine metaplasia.
E. Focal pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia in the mammary stroma.
F. Area consistent with intraductal papilloma with the usual
hyperplasia.
G. Simple cyst

If you are that concerned, may I suggest you insist on an MRI? My original biopsy was positive for cancer and after that I was so nervous about the other breast that I insisted on an MRI......guess what...there was another very small tumor in the same breast that did not show up on mammogram that was a neuroendocrine lesion which is highly aggressive and rarely shows up in the breast. So a second surgery was performed to remove that as well. My oncologist poo-pooed me, the first surgeon did not think an MRI was necessary, but the second surgeon I saw felt it reasonable. Sending you best wishes in your journey.
