Mammogram not elsewhere classified
it is stable
"Dense breasts" on a mammogram is a normal finding. A "thickness" on mammogram is not a typically used phrase; ask your health care provider to clarify what the results actually say.
In some contexts, it may mean mammogram or mammography.
BI-RADS 4 on a mammogram means there is a suspicious abnormality, and a biopsy might be required. It does not necessarily mean cancer.
Its the code for a mammogram screen.
glandular disease ( ex. in breast)
ACG is the code for atypical glandular cells. Glandular cells produce mucus and are located in the cervix, they indicate a higher risk for cervical cancer. You doctor may want to perform a colposcopy.
Atypical glandular cells of undetermined significance (AGC-US) is a finding made upon cervical cytology. Atypical Glandular Cells are a finding that have been associated with pre-malignant and malignant diseases, as well as error in reading the sample. In short, it simply means the glandular cells that were sampled did not look 100% normal. This can be caused by a variety of issues, but needs to be clarified, so a biopsy is indicated to obtain further tissue. A pathologist, a physician who specializes in the microscopy of tissues, will examine the biopsy and provide more information.
A normal mammogram may also be rated as BIRADS 2 or benign findings. This means that one or more abnormalities were found but are clearly benign (not cancerous), or variations of normal.
BI-RADS 2 benign finding means that something was found on the mammogram, but it is almost certainly not cancer. Talk with your health care provider for more information on what was found on your mammogram.
BI-RADS is simply the word used in the categories of mammogram results. BI-RADS 0 means additional imaging is needed. BI-RADS 1 means no evidence of cancer. BI-RADS 5 means likely cancer. There are a range of results in between.
