Heterogeneously dense breast tissue
Pronunciation
A term used to describe breast tissue that is made up of mostly dense fibrous tissue and glandular tissue and also has some fatty tissue. On a mammogram, the dense areas of the breast make it harder to find tumors or other changes. Heterogeneously dense breast tissue is one of four categories used to describe a level of breast density seen on a mammogram. About 40% of women have this type of breast tissue. (NCI Dictionary)
