So where do i start?....4 years ago i had a nipple infection in my right breast. Come to find out after being sent for emergency surgery it was a stone blocking a milk duct. Weird i know. But that incident resulted in a bilaterial mammogram. Then in June i had another infection in the same breast. Clear up with antibiotics. No one knows what caused that.....However that also resulted in another bilateral mammogram. They found 3 clusters of microcalcifications int he left breast that were new since the one 4 years ago.(Go figure, the one i didn't have issues with). So i had a stereotatic biopsy done of the one cluster (since the radiologist said they all looked similar). The results came back as this.....
Pathology result is available for review and shows flat epithelial atypia with associated
calcification, columnar cell change with associated calcification, apocrine cyst with associated
calcification, stromal fibrosis, mild usual duct hyperplasia.
I met with the Surgeon yesterday to get the results and she said this Flat Epithelial Atypia is a rare high risk lesion that need to be removed because of the risk and search for nearby cancer. So i am going to do 2 more stereotactic biopsy next Tuesday....Then find out the results the following monday. Then schedule Excisional biopsy of all areas with Atypia. Then wait for those results to discuss treatment if any needed.
My Questions are.... Is this really that rare? If so how rare is it for my age? Has anyone had any combinations of the same finding or similar? Any information would be helpful. I don't understand all of this and google is kind everywhere about the FEA lesion.
Thanks in advance :-)
