[quote=Anonymous]I went in for a mammo/ultrasound and there is a mass that is suspicious shown on both mammo/ultrasound and the report says this:

There is an oval mass measuring
12mm x 14mm x7mm in the left breast at 2 o'clock located 7 centimeters from the nipple. No evidence of any solid mass or other abnormality in right breast.

IMPRESSION:
Oval mass in the left breast is suspicious. Biopsy is recommended. The patient was informed of the exam results by the radiologist before
leaving the facility.
BI-RADS CODE: 4 - Suspicious Abnormality

I'm really scared. If ultrasound report says suspicious, is there more chances of malignancy? Is core needle biopsy or excisional better? They asked me to schedule a core needle biopsy. Can I ask for an excisional? Is it better to do the biopsy with a radiologist or with the surgeon?

I have been seeing a surgeon due to abnormal mammograms with complicated cyst in last year's ultrasounds (I had a 6 month follow up so two were done - one at radiology and follow up with surgeon). Both times there were cysts in ultrasound. I have dense breast so have been doing mammo and ultrasound. This is the first time that mammogram also shows an abnormal mass and it is freaking me out.[/quote]
