I am 34 years old, and discovered a lump in my left breast, I had a mammogram and an ultra sound done on it. That lump was found to be a benign cyst, but a hypo echoic lesion with irregular margins was discovered during the process. The lesion is 9x5 mm. The radiology report states that the breasts exhibit a heterogeneously dense patter. Also there is a benign-appearing axillary lump node noted. I have been referred to have an ultra-sound guided biopsy.
My maternal had breast cancer and had to have both breast removed at different ages (one around 45 and the other around 60). Any thoughts on what this could be? I don't want to instantly jump to cancer, so I'm trying to research other causes as well.
Thank you for your time.
