Distortion on a mammogram refers to an irregularity in the breast tissue's structure that can suggest the presence of abnormalities, such as tumors or other lesions. This distortion may manifest as architectural changes, such as asymmetry or unusual shapes, which can warrant further investigation. It's important for radiologists to assess these distortions carefully, as they can sometimes indicate cancer or other significant conditions. Further imaging or biopsies may be needed to clarify the nature of the distortion.
