up of almost all fatty tissue. 
Fatty breast tissue does not look dense on a mammogram, 
which may make it easier 
to find tumors or other changes in the breast. 
Fatty breast tissue is more common in older women 
than in younger women. 
Fatty breast tissue is one of four categories used 
to describe a level of breast 
density seen on a mammogram.

On a mammogram, the dense areas of the breast make

Scattered fibroglandular 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.

On a mammogram, the dense areas of the breast make 
it harder to find tumors or other 
changes. 
Women who have extremely dense breast tissue have 
a higher risk of breast cancer 
than those who have little or no dense breast tissue. 
Extremely dense breast tissue is one of four categories 
used to describe a level 
of breast density seen on a mammogram. 
About 10% of women have this type of breast tissue.
