breast biopsy results.

I had my left breast biopsied yesterday.  The findings were: some fluid (brown in color) and some solid material was removed. The shape of the cyst is oval with a wall or seperation.  Size is approximately 1/4 - 1/2 inch. Is this enough to go on to make any kind of determination whether it is benign/maligment?

I second mhv ... the fluid goes to cytopathology and they look at the cells in it, if a biopsy was done a surgical pathologist looks at the lining to make this determination of benign or malignant ...
