LN, lymph node.

34.4%of patients who had focal asymmetry and distortion had a malignancy.

12.1%of patients who had focal asymmetry and suspicious calcifications had a malignancy.

34.1%of patients who had focal asymmetry and skin/nipple changes had a malignancy.

41.2%of patients who had focal asymmetry with no other mammographic findings were considered benign cases.
