They are probably just lopsided :-/

It could be benign or malignant...no one will know until the biopsy comes back. Pleomorphic calcifications are more likely to be of a cancerous origin, but this doesn't mean everyone that gets these results on their mamo has cancer. Relax. Stress is the last thing you need right now. Wait for the biopsy results before you panic, and if it's something you weren't expecting it's still okay, with the science and technology today, they can attack virtually anything. Good Luck.

any time you hear pleomorphic, that is not a great sign, but it does not guarantee cancer either, it could mean abnormal cells that are not cancer which could be benign or it could also be pre-cancer. how large is this mass? many times tumors less than 1cm and up to 2cm are easily treatable and can be resected. even if it does turn out to be breast cancer it is not the guaranteed gloom and doom it once was, now with modern advances and treatment regimens, people are seeing cure rates up to 89% with this disease. best wishes to you and I hope this helps.

Polymorphic calcifications happen to be cancer in 30-40% of the patients. These calcifications are mostly the sign of in-situ cancers which mean that they are not invasive and can be totally cured
