Hello everyone
I had a biopsy a while ago and results were given over the phone that it was normal breast tissue. Brilliant news of course. I’ve finally received the results letter which states: benign with morphological description only. I know it confirms the verbal results but please can someone shed light on what this means?
Thanks
M
Hello maddy1980
Thanks for your post asking to shed light on the meaning of your biopsy results.
It’s good to hear that your results show normal breast tissue. Morphological is a term used on pathology reports, which can mean a change in the tissue being biopsied. It’s difficult for us to comment on individual pathology reports and we would always suggest going back to the breast team or your GP to explain your results in more detail.
