focal asymmetry with architectural change

I had my yearly mammogram and it stated focal asymmetry with architectural change. Does anyone know what this means? I appreciate all the help.

Hi @jjacobs9989, it seems like you've received your mammogram report before having a chance to discuss the results with your doctor.

Have you had a chance to review the results with your doctor in the meantime? Does the mammogram need to be repeated?
