Boy, talk about helpful, huh? I'd be wondering exactly what that portends too but, unless the description (not the one-word label of atypical) words that suggested cancer, I'd at least be somewhat relaxed until I could get more answers. There are 'artifacts' in most of our bodies that are unimportant or signs that the immune system tackled a problem we didn't even know we had and dealt with it. [My doctor mom used to remind us children of how 'smart' the body is and to respect its few needs like good diet, etc.]
@meme5 I read and re-read your original post and follow up. On what organ was the biopsy performed? Was this a liver biopsy? Tissue from the lymph node? Is there a description in the pathology report before the diagnosis? What did your doctor say? It can be very nerve wracking and scary to read a pathology report before talking with your doctor who will explain the results to you.
