I have recently had a mammogram that has identified a small mass that is likely intamamarry lymph nodes.?

Did you ask for an ultrasound?  Ultrasound is very good at seeing intramammary lymph nodes.  Remember that a radiologist has be very sure that your "lump" is benign to recommend a 6 month follow up.  Of course, nothing is a hundred percent, but a recommendation of a 6 month follow up is as close as you can get!  With all of the biopsy techniques available today, the radiologist would suggest that if he/she was uncomfortable with your mass.  A FN biopsy is not the test I would choose.  They are not very accurate, especially if this is a lump that is only seen on a mammogram, and cannot be felt.   Instead, if you decide to get a biopsy, look into stereotactic breast biopsy.  It is a simple, image guided biopsy which will yield surgical grade tissue samples.  Simply put, I would ask for an ultrasound, and if that also showed a lymph node, I would wait the six months.  If the ultrasound was inconclusive, I would ask for a stereo biopsy......

It can indicate a few different things, but you need to talk with a doctor.  The answer depends on the context and you probably need other diagnostic tests performed and interpreted by a medical professional to really figure out what is going on.  One common finding is calcium deposits in mammograms, which can be markers for abnormal cell growth ranging from harmless benign tumors to cancerous growth that requires immediate treatment.  But don't guess or sit here on Answers worrying... go find out from the experts.

A small percent of the cancer are not detected by mammogram or ultrasound.  Since your doctor can feel it, it needs to be biopsied.  It can be cancer but it can also be other benign things such as a fibroadenoma or cyst.\n\nGood luck

If you feel a lump but that is not always the case. You should get a mamogram if you are in concerns

In my experience, this is not uncommon.  If you had these masses biopsied, and the pathology came back as fibroadenomas, they generally leave them alone.  They VERY, VERY rarely become cancer, and they do not harm you.  A surgeon can remove them if they get large enough to cause you pain.  Once you have breast surgery, the internal scars will interfer with the radiologist's ability to accurately read your mammograms.  Fibroadenomas get smaller once a woman goes through menopause (if she is not receiving hormones).\n\nThese sites will give you more information:\n\nhttp://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/007216.htm\n\nhttp://health.allrefer.com/health/fibroadenoma-breast-info.html

I have a small mole on my left breast.

It is a finding on xray, that is very dense, as dense as bone, but is not a bone.  It is evidence of an old infection that has been sequestered to a lymph node.  Fungal infections, tuberculosis, parasites and some environmental elements can be taken out to the lymph nodes, where the body has a particular reaction, called a granulomatous reaction, ie forms a granuloma, and takes care of the infection.  Frequently, the granuloma gets calcified before the body can clear up the debris, and it will be with you always.  I have had one in my left armpit for the last 40 years.  They always comment on it in mammograms, but it is stable and is just an incidental finding.  Almost never are calcified granulomas evidence of any current disease process.  Rest easy, all is okay.  If that is the worst finding in your health workup, go celebrate.

Go to your family doctor first.  That doctor can refer you to a specialist if needed.  An x-ray at a denist won't help diagnose this lump because an x-ray will not show most soft tissue...only bone and teeth.  But, many times, when I do an ultrasound of the type of lump you are describing located near the jaw bone, it turns out to be a lymph node.  Lymph nodes can enlarge when they are fighting some type of infection.  But any change in the body needs to be checked out by a medical professional.

Praying for you sis, I really am =)  \n...but FYI - a second mammogram request is not something to worry about at this point.  When I went they told me that 75% of the time they have to have women come in for a re-do (second one) because of the fibrocystic type of tissue and the way it shows on the results.  Faith is good.  Keep it going strong and prayer warriors in your church should be alerted too =)  Blessings from California!

it could be a liquid filled cyst under the breastbone. I would go to the doctor asap!

You should see an endocrinologist.  I doubt that it is cancer, but something glandular is going on?  Are the lymph nodes in your armpits swollen also?\n\nAlso, are you male or female?  Can you clench your teeth?\n\nYou should definitely see at doctor soon.  I think you're a bit young for hodgkins or any other lymphoma.  But it could be something serious (but curable).  Plus, hopefully you've had a mumps vaccination.  This is a symptom of mumps but if you were vaccinated when you were a child you will be protected from this.  However, there is an outbreak of mumps recently, so make sure you check whether you have received it or not. \n\nIf your doctor won't see you today or soon, you should probably see another doctor.  Even at 17, you have to take charge of your own health and well-being.

It is not cancer but something else kindly consult your medical consultant. You may, I repeat may have a problem with the blood vessel in that area or the nerve.\n Get your heart also checked.\n \nPlease do not waste your time seeking advice on the Internet from ignorant people like me.

It is probably a swollen lymph node if it is under the angle of the mandile (corner of the jaw, and in front of the sternoclediomastoid muscle (the one from the bottom of the back of the ear (the mastoid bone) that goes down to the middile of the sternum (breastbone) at the notch. Check to see if when you crane your neck forward the lump is just in front of the muscle that becomes prominent as you push your head forward - if so it increases the likelihood it is a harmless lymph node swelling - not all lymph node enlargements are harmless though (and it will need to be seen by a physician). Harmless causes include reactive lymph node from tonisllitis, viral pharyiogitis, cystic acne chanegs, tooth infections and more.\n\nOther masses in the neck include thyroid masses (cysts and tumors) salivary masses (inferior parotid gland or submandibular gland, epidermal inclusion cysts and more.\n\nI think the biggest reason to see a docotr is to make sure an alien spider did not lay eggs under your skin in that area while you were sleeping last night. (just kidding)\n\nGood luck. Go see the doctor, but don't loose sleep over this - it is probably harmless.

You are probably refering to lymphoma.  I had a type of lymphoma called Hodgkins.  I didn't have any symptoms other than tiredness and a lump above my collarbone.  (Later I found that I had other lymph node tumorss deep in my chest.)  Symptoms vary according to the stage of lymphoma, some have little or no swmptoms.  It also depends on whether you have Hodgkins or Non-Hodgkins lymphoma.  There is a good list of symptoms here:   http://www.lymphomainfo.net/lymphoma/symptoms.html  \nYou can also always email me for more info, madenthe80s@hotmail.com

I would get it checked ASAP.  Lumps should not be ignored.\nb

sounds like some sort of cancer. or tumor.

As a cancer nurse, I can not emphasize strong enough even MEN get breast cancer!!  I'm not saying you have cancer, but I would make an appointment to get it checked out, especially if you noticed changes.  It is most probably a mammary gland or lymph node, but I'd get it checked out to find out what it isn't.  Your body is going thru changes related to puberty, so it could be a hormonal thing. Yes, even men go thru hormonal changes too. You could also have your mom look at it, I know it sounds ickey, but (she probably knows how to do a breast exam on herself) she could touch the areas in question on you and she could give you insight on what is normal. If that grosses you out to much, just tell her you need an appointment with your Dr.
