Obscure breast mass?

Posted by danielle0313 @danielle0313, Aug 16, 2022

Hello,
I wanted to ask if an obscured breast mass is any concern from anyone’s experience (not medical advice, of course!). I am going for a core biopsy today for 2 masses but one of them is obscured. Thank you in advance!

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Breast Cancer Support Group.

It is my understanding that this refers to a mass that is a little difficult to make out on image, usually due to dense breasts. It is “obscured”. I am really glad you are going for core biopsy. Do they plan to try and biopsy them both? How are doing with this?

Hi Chris,
Thank you for responding. I was actually incorrect. It’s the same mass but the way it was worded made it confusing. I thought it was strange that the radiologist didn’t tell me about the second one I thought I had but chalked it up to her possibly seeing something when she wrote the results (maybe she saw it looking at it a second time). It was BIRADS 3 in March and now 4A- not sure why it was changed- possibly because it was a different radiologist the first time it was found and she had a different assessment. Glad I got the biopsy- now I won’t worry about it unnecessarily if the results are benign. Good news is that it was mobile during the biopsy! (Now if only I can figure out these darn *severe* night sweats!!)

Please come back and let me know how your biopsy comes out. One tumor is way better than two in so many ways. Mobile during biopsy is a good sign. If you figure out the night sweats please tell me your secret. I fell asleep with an ice pack against my stomach last night. 😂😂.

Will do! Results should be in tomorrow, Friday latest. Thank you for your support.
Ice pack….good for you! I never thought of that one🤦🏼‍♀️

stromal hyperplasia!!! Thank God! Glad I went for a biopsy despite the fact they thought it could be a fibroadenoma. Now we are just monitoring it!
Thank you Chris for your support❤️
