[quote=Anonymous]OP here. The purpose of the clip is to mark the biopsy site so that future images like a mammogram or ultrasound will show that the site has been biopsied. The clip/marker is a titanium coil but it is encased in a large capsule (not made from metal but a clear substance). I believe what is happening here is that the large capsule is pressing on nearby tissues causing pressure and pain, since my mass was only 6 mm and the capsule is three times the size. So that is a huge difference in very small breasts (A cup). I want the clip removed. I was reading that I will probably need an excision in the operating room to do this, but I am willing because I don't want the clip in there. I did not want the clip to begin with and now it is causing more problems than the biopsy.[/quote]
