oval breast mass bi-rad 4

[jer-bear]

Hi everyone this is my first post.  I have had 2 u/s now and they have moved me from bi-rad 3 to 4, and now I will have a needle core biopsy.  What do they mean by less well defined at posterior margin and blood flow seen within the mass.  It is a oval 8x10x6 mass in the left breast that was only found on u/s not palpable.  No pain.  Thanks for anyones help take care

The fact it has blood supply makes the radiologist think that it need s to be biopsied thus being a birads 4, and its good that the margins are not irregular that  kept it from becoming birads 5 which is highly suspicious for malignancy.

Hi,

To get an answer to your question from a nurse, you need to post it on the Breast Cancer Forum, as opposed to the Breast Cancer Support Forum, which is not monitored by a nurse, it's only patient to patient.  If you got to the main page, look at the top and you will see Breast Cancer Forum.  Go to that page, and you can post a question.

Did you have a mammogram also?
