Mammogram And Sonomammogram Result

Picked-up the result of my mammogram and sonomammogram. Makati Medical Center uses the BIRADS Category.

BIRADS CATEGORY:
Category 0, Needs additional imaging evaluation
Category 1, Negative
Category 2, Benign finding
Category 3, Probably benign finding: short interval follow-up suggested
Category 4, Suspicious abnormality: biopsy should be considered
4A -- Low suspicion for malignancy
4B -- Intermediate suspicion for malignancy
4C -- Findings of moderate concern, but not classic
Category 5, Highly suggestive of malignancy: appropriate action should be taken
Category 6, Confirmed malignant by biopsy prior to definitive therapies

Mammography result:  BIRADS Category 2

No mammographic evidence of malignancy. Annual mammograms suggested. 

Sonomammography result:  BIRADS Category 3

Distinct hypoechoic masses with suggestively benign sonographic features, bilateral. Clinical correlation and short-term follow-up by sonography after 6 months suggested to monitor stability. Simple cysts, bilateral.
