Breast lump

[cshemanthr]

I am 24 year old unmarried girl, I found a lump 6 months before and saturday I went to get the advice from doctor and she suggested me ultrasongraphy and prolactin tests to be conducted and the results of the both are below. Please someone help me understand whether it is a malignant result or a benign.

Ultrasonography Results:

Evidence of well capsulated hypoechoic area measuring 20x13mmseen in left breast at 5'o clock position. vascularity seen.
No calcification or necrosis.
Rest of the breasts show normal echotexture with normal lobular pattern.
No obvious ductal dilatation noted.
No axillary lymphadenopathy noted.

Impression:

Fibroadenoma left breast.
Correlate clinically and FNAC.

Why have i been again referred to FNAC? Is vasularity and hypoechoic results are malignant. Please let me know your response please. Also prolactin test is 22.3 which looks in normal range. I would appreciate someones help in responding me. Thankful to you.

I believe I explained that the report indicated the lump is likely a Fibroadenoma which is a BENIGN breast tumor. These reports are filled with medical terms that are meant for another Dr.s interpretation. Since you say that you did see your Dr. I'm curious as to why you didn't ask her to explain your report and how it applies to your particular issue. You don't mention if you actually did have the FNAC that was advised by the Radiologist in the report that you posted. Please keep your  appointment for the 1 month checkup that your Dr. has advised.   Regards ...

Hi Japdip,

Cany you please respond to my question. Please dont mind.

Thanks for your valuable feedback. I visited the doctor and she asked me to re-visit after 1 month for a follow up check. In my previous concern I had asked what is the indication of vascularity seen and hypoechoic mean. Could you please explain me this in brief?

In the report the Radiologist states that the impression based on the Ultrasound is that the lump represents a Fibroadenoma which is a Benign breast tumor. I see nothing that indicates that this might be cancer. It is recommended for a further study to be 100% certain as to the nature of this lump. You should always speak to your Dr. for a complete explanation of your reports so that you understand what is being recommended and why.  I'm wondering why you waited for 6 months before seeing your Dr. about this breast lump.   Regards .....
