I had a lumpectomy of a benign phyllodes tumor with clear margins on 6/14/23 followed by a bilateral breast reduction on 6/22/23. On 10/19/23 I had an ultrasound of a new lump that I found in August of 2023. An irregular hypoechoic solid lesion was identified, but the findings were indeterminant so a needle biopsy is recommended. The lump is not on the scar line so I'm assuming I can rule out scar tissue. It sounds like a needle biopsy makes sense for next steps since it could simply be a fat necrosis. I'd just like to avoid the time and cost of a needle biopsy if I'm going to end up needing this thing surgically removed in the end. But I also don't want an unnecessary surgery. Any suggestions or advice on next steps would be much appreciated. I have the needle biopsy scheduled for 10/30/23.
