Worried
Hello All,
I am a 38 year old female with two small children. I have been having breast discharge (only when squeezed) since I last breastfed 3 years ago. I thought this was normal but I mentioned it at my last check up. I had a normal mammogram and ultrasound. However, they tested the fluid and found Rare atypical epithelial cells; scant cellularity, rare epithelial cells with atypic, a scattered squamous cells and rare foam cells also noted.
I am also having an upcoming surgery to remove a 5.7 cm cyst on my ovary.
I was referred to a a breast surgery but that is all I know at this time. I'm not sure what any of this means but I would be so appreciative of any support.
Thank you.

Hi @mschell , I'm sorry that you are having to undergo all this worry. You were probably referred to a breast surgeon due to the unusual results of the fluid tests. A breast surgeon is a specialist in this area and will be able to answer your questions and let you know if there is anything that should be done or if you need regular follow up. I hope it turns out to be nothing of great concern. All the best!
