understanding results

Results on my mammogram:
  nodular density appreciated @ upper quadrant bwtween 10 to 11cm from nipple which persists on spot compressions.it is well circumscribed & exhibits no related architectural distortion.
additionalsmall nodular focus is seen anteriorly in the left retroareolar breast best seen in spot compressed view .it is posterioe to the nipple in the lateromedial view this corresponds to a tiny cyst 6mm size identified sonographically.
  additional cyst is identified corresponding to the left upper outer quadrant focus more posteriorly in the left breast cyst measures 7mm greatest dimension..
  Benign nodule is appreciated @ rite upper outer quadrant approaching the axilla measuring 0.8X 1.3X 1.5 cm probably representative of a sub-cm intramammary lymph node small lesion is not seen sonographically...


      Can some one tell me wat all this means appreciated very much...

Starting from the bottom of the report .... a lymph node that is stated as a benign nodule.  Two cysts; one in the upper outer quadrant of the breast which is described as being 7mm in size -- One behind the nipple that is described as being 6mm in size and was also seen on Ultrasound.  Another nodule which is still seen in the upper quadrant but is not identified. Was any additional testing recommended ?? This is usually included on the report as well. I would think if a biopsy were suggested it would be of the first nodular density mentioned in the report.  Regards ....
