Benign lymph node on mammogram

    • How do you know if a lymph node is malignant?

      The margin of the mass usually will be sharply de- fined in a benign lesion such as a fibroadenoma or a cyst, but a mass with this appearance may be malignant in about 7% of cases. An intramammary lymph node is usually well circumscribed, smaller than 1 cm in size, and most often seen in the upper outer quadrant of the breast.



    • What is an intramammary lymph node?

      An intramammary lymph node is usually well circumscribed, smaller than 1 cm in size, and most often seen in the upper outer quadrant of the breast. Asymmetric breast tissue nearly always can be dis- tinguished from a true mass by means of mammo- graphic evaluation.


    • How is a lymph node resection treated in breast cancer?

      In a patient with breast cancer, a lymph node with a diffusely thickened cortex should be subjected to needle biopsy. Ultrasound-guid-ed (fine-needle or core) biopsy should target the specific focal bulge or eccentric cortical thickening [2, 5]. Ultrasound-guided biopsy is well tolerated by patients and can be quick-ly performed.
