sonogram of left breast

sonogram of left breast

Screening mammogram showed up 8mm nodular opacity left breast, may represent intrammary lymph node.  F/U with another mammo then an ultrasound.  Ultrasound showed at 3 o'clock position hypoechogenic solid mass with a center line of increased echogenicity .  It measures .53 x .38 x .56 cm.  Most likely represents an intramammary node.  Symptoms,  burns with some pain discomfort.  No suggestion of a repeat in some future time just told it is ok.  Two first cousins that I know of had breast cancer.  Any suggestions?

Dear mawmaw10:  It is not uncommon for an intramammary lymph node to appear on films.  This are benign and no reason exists to remove them unless there is question as to what it is.  Most breast cancer is not painful.  Relatives that significantly increase risk of breast cancer are first degree relatives (mother, sister, daughter).  If you are concerned, you might consider a second opinion and have your films reviewed at another center.
