Dialted Duct & Lymph Nodes
by YAp, Dec 22, 2007 10:24AM
I had my first mammogram and ultrasound. I was called by my primary a few days after. He referred me to a breast specialist.
The results are the following;
Mammogram: Stated fibroglandular elements in the upper quadrant of the left breast. No mass or cyst. However the sonogram read: an elognatged dilated duct in the left breast at the 8 o'clock position. It also stated prominent-sized fatty lympn nodes in both axillae. One measuring 2.5 cm and the other 1.8 cm.
I was referred to the specialist for dilated duct.
Should I be concerned? What could this be? What additional test if any should I expect to do?

The reports that you mention should not be a cause of alarm. The dilated duct and lymph nodes seem benign lesions most probably.
What is important is that you see a surgeon and ask him if a biopsy of the lymph nodes needs to be done for a confirmed diagnosis. He would then decide after a proper clinical examination, if he thinks the lesion is suspicious.
It is best to have a confirmed diagnosis and plan further management accordingly. Let the surgeon do the clinical examination and then he will also decide whetehr the dilated duct can be managed conservatively or a surgical intervention is required.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.
I did see a surgeon and had a biospy. I like to share the results with you, because I was informed by my surgeon that I need another biospy.
Should I be alarmed? and why do you think another biopsy is required?
Tissue: Lymph Node-Rt Breast Ax
Final Diagnosis:
Biospy of Right Axilla: Breast tissue with fibrocystic change and papillary ductal hyperplasia with apocrine features.
He explained that the biospy was of breast tissue and not of the enlarged lymph node.
Should I worry and what may be the next step?
Thank you for your time.
