conspicuity.

of less than one quadrant of
the breast and is of more concern.

mammography is less than 1%.

asymmetry where at least one

density than the corresponding
area in the contralateral breast.</td></tr><tr><td style="white-space:nowrap">DevelopingAsymmetry<a name="AsymmetryAbnormalityTypeCS-DevelopingAsymmetry"> </a></td><td>Developing Asymmetry</td><td>A developing asymmetry is a focal asymmetry that
is new or increased in conspicuity
compared with the previous mammogram.
It is challenging to evaluate, as it often looks
similar to fibroglandular tissue
at mammography.
A developing asymmetry should be viewed with suspicion
because it is an uncommon
manifestation of breast cancer.
