My mammogram results are:
There are scattered areas of fibriglandular density. In the 8 to 9 o’clock position about 6cm from the nipple, there is an oval shaped asymmetry at middle depth. Best seen on MLO tomographic image #78 and cc mammograpic image #26.

Brief Answer:
Need more information regarding your issue.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting us about your healthcare.
I have gone through your history and understand your concern.
But before giving my opinion about your mammogram, I want to ask few questions, so I will be able to guide you accordingly.
What is your age?
Why you have done it, means are you having some symptoms or lump in your breast?
Any other associated symptoms?
And if you are able to upload the report, that is better.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Good luck
Regards

I am 53, not gone through menopause. This was a screening mammogram. I do them yearly religiously. I have tried to palpitate a lump where they saw the issue but I can’t feel anything.

Brief Answer:
It could be a fibroadenoma.

Hello mam,
Sorry for the delay in my response.
Thanks for the information.
Mammogram your breast is showing fibroadenoma a benign Tumor of the breast.
You should get your ultrasound breast to confirm the diagnosis and if needed get your FNAC or biopsy of lump to rule out the cause of your symptoms.
Hope found useful.
