| 1/20/2012 | I have been told I have multiple complex cysts - all in the same quadrant of one breast - .7x.5.1.2 cm, .5x.4x.4 cm , .5.x.2x.5 cm. Does having multiple complex cysts imply anything about the chances for them being malignant? Will all have to be biopsied? | ||

| 1/20/2012 | it would be doubtful to have implications that these means something worrisome since there are several and close to one another. most are benign. the radiologist determines which ones may be of concern and biopsies those. | ||
