Is it normal to have your breast reduction specimen that's sent to pathology be both breast tissue & a left lymph node? (Photo)

Congratulations on having undergone breast reduction procedure.   At this point, I do not think that you have anything  to worry about. In other words, I would not be concerned that a lymph node was encountered during breast reduction procedure and sent to pathology for evaluation.   Most of the time this occurs, the pathology returns "benign". Keep in mind, that if anything concerning was identified, you would very likely have heard from your plastic surgeon by now.   For additional peace of mind, you may want to call your plastic surgeon's office  to request the pathologic findings. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.

Lymph nodes occur in the breast and sometimes during a breast reduction, a lymph node can be encountered. If your surgeon had any concerns, it was sent to Pathology. It is good that breast tissue was sent as well. If he/she was worried about intra op findings, they would have told you. Sounds like they did the right thing for you and you are healing well. Best wishes for continued healing.
