I have a solid mass in my breast that's microlobulated oval elongated Bi-Rads 4. Is it cancer?

Confirmed by mammogram and U/S. Externally Isoechoic in heterogeneously dense breasts. It has partially defined/obsured microlobulated margins. Internal echostructure is homogeneous and hypoechoic relative to adipose tissue. It's 9mm and in the anterior region of the right breast at 12 0'clock position. I had a hysterectomy at age 25. My mother had ovarian cancer at age 26. I also have been tested for the "cancer gene" and do have it. I am 33 years old with 4 children. Have had a 15 pound weight loss this month (135 down to 120). I have had vague symptoms of cancer for 3 years now and have been treated for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome for years. Can all of these things still add up to be nothing? HELP!!!!!

Class 4 mammography means suspicious of carcinoma, the key work is suspicious,so until the biopsy you will not know for sure.





What I can tell you is - a lobulated mass which is hyoechoic is not normal. There is no mention of any bright lymph nodes which is good.





Having the B gene does not mean you will absolutely get it just that you have an increased chance.





In January I was diagnosed with a class 4, it looked like cancer to me on x-ray and US, but it turned out to be an infection.





I have also seen other class 4's be benign, but you need to be ready if its not.





The patients that make it are the ones that go in ready to fight.





Good luck I will say a prayer for you and your family.





I would start with a good breast surgeon and your mammography department will tell you which one they work with the most - that's the one you will want.





If the biopsy is positive then a oncologist will need to be need to be consulted.

Reply:Anytime there is a suspicious lesion in your breast, you should see a general surgeon and have it removed and biopsied. Dont mess around with this.

Reply:In mammography, some facilities use the "bi-rads" method to explain things that are seen on a mammogram. The bi-rads method numbers are from 1 to 5. One basically means that there is nothing in the breast other than normal breast tissue. So your number 4 bi-rads mean that the radiologist who read your mammogram is concerned about something he or she sees on the films and strongly recommends a biopsy. I have been a mammogram technologist for about 14 years. If it was my own mammogram I would be going to a oncologist. I would not mess around with a general surgeon. Try not to panic. Sometimes it looks ugly on a mammogram or U/S and it turns out to be benign. But please go to a specialist. Good luck to you.
