What that really means??

I am excited to get a negative result on my stereotatic biopsy lately. When I received the report, I don't quite understanding it. It says "Benign Fibrocystic change with focal mild ductal hyperplasia" and "Focal microcalcification present". I was asked what is my BIRAD?  I had no idea, the report doesn't show.
Any one knows? and why I don't get a BIRAD.

Thanks A Lot.

Dear SFMei:  BIRADs scores are used to describe mammogram results.  You are describing a pathology report.  Pathology is more exact than a mammogram.  The description of this report describes benign breast tissue.  None of these features increases the risk of breast cancer. Your doctor would be best able to determine whether the biopsy results explain the findings on exam or mammogram that led to doing the biopsy in the first place.
