Neoplasm of uncertain or unknown behaviour: breast - what does this mean

Neoplasm of uncertain or unknown behaviour in the breast is a condition characterized by the presence of a lump or mass in the breast that cannot be definitively diagnosed as either benign or malignant. it is typically identified by imaging studies and biopsy. treatment is usually determined on a case-by-case basis, depending on the size and location of the mass, as well as the patient's age, medical history, and other factors.

What happens during the disease - neoplasm of uncertain or unknown behaviour: breast

The pathogenesis of neoplasm of uncertain or unknown behaviour in the breast is likely due to an abnormal growth of cells in the breast tissue, which can be caused by a variety of factors, such as genetic mutations, environmental exposures, or hormonal imbalances. these abnormal cells can then divide and grow uncontrollably, forming a mass or lump that can be benign or malignant. it is not always possible to determine the behaviour of these tumours until they have been biopsied and examined.
