Last week following a core biopsy I was told I have a B3 “without atypia” papilloma.
Since the biopsy, I have developed what feels like a hard cordlike thread running through the outside of my breast which leaves an indent if I raise my breast, down from the place the biopsy was taken. Having googled this I believe it to be thrombophlebitis (Mondor’s). It appeared about 3 weeks after my initial biopsy. However, When I showed it to my ultrasound consultant I was told the vein may just be inflamed, and it unlikely it was related to the biopsy.
I’m now waiting two weeks for the histology on the removed papilloma. I’ve been told even if it is benign I will need to return for another ultrasound in a few months to check the papilloma was completely removed and hasn’t regrown.
I just wondered if anyone on the forum now has gone through any of this with a papilloma? When I first had the news that I had a papilloma I thought I’d just need an op and that would be that. Also, I’m wondering what could have caused the line if it wasn’t the biopsy? If anyone has a similar experience of either or both, I’d love to hear from you.
