what does a spot mean?

[teamaven]

My mammogram showed a very clear, very white, very evenly round dime-shaped spot on one breast.
I'm to have an ultrasound next week. The waiting is horrible, so has anyone had a similar mammogram
result? What are the possibilities? Thank you for your time.

Well I am sorry you are going through that. First of all a ultrasound should be done.
And the surgeon at that time determines if you need a biopsy.
It could come back many things that requires bo surgery.

My biopsy came back b-9 for cancer. It turned out ti be a2.5 centimeter fibroadenoma
that i did have removed 2 weeks ago but sometimes they dont need to be removed
Prayers with you -let me know how it turns out

Hi there.

I understand your concern.  Spots found on a mammogram can have several causes.  From what you have described, a very round spot with well defined borders is most likely of a benign cause like fibroadenoma or a benign cyst.  The ultrasound will differentiate if this is solid or cystic.  If your doctor has a suspicion that this can be malignant, then he might suggest a biopsy procedure.  Spot characteristics that will point out to a possible malignancy include irregular borders and characteristic patterns of calcifications.  I hope everything will turn out fine.  Regards and God bless...
