mammogram result ?

Can someone explain these finding?
The breasts consist of scattered fibroglandular tissue ( 25-50%
glandular tissue). There is an asymmetry superiorly in the left
breast at anterior to middle depth on the MLO and anterior
compression MLO views only. No suspicious masses or calcifications
are identified in in the right breast.

Hi,
The findings on your mammogram report stating that your breasts consist of scattered fibroglandular tissue means what a breast tissue is made of.
It's combination of glands and fibrous tissues and this is "normal". It  describes the tissue as moderately lumpy,or dense.
If a mammogram finds that there is an asymmetric density,this usually means that an area of your left breast is obscured and appears as a shadow.In this case,a diagnostic mammogram is needed to focus on the area so a diagnosis can be made.Very often the density will disappears upon compression, indicating that it could have simply been tissue that folded over on itself.If the density remains, then further investigation will be needed.
Although it is impossible to predict in advance what this density represents,many will turn out to be benign.
The report states that your right breast is fine with nothing suspicious to report.
Wishing you all the best...
