Reports are fine .
But I would recommend her to undergo a both breast mammogram. Sensitivity and specificity are higher at her age for mammogram.
Since her age is 50 the recommended test is mammogram , please undergo a mammogram and if that is suggestive of same BIRADS then she can kept on follow up with yearly mammography , doesn’t need any other medication or intervention.

Given the long duration of the complaint and scan report suggestive of subcutaneous swelling likely mentioned as a sebaceous cyst , there is not much concern about cancer in this.
However confirmed diagnosis can be given after seeing the pt clinically.
If it’s a sebaceous cyst, it can be safely removed in few minutes to relieve her of the pain
Next Steps
Consult a surgeon for examination and removal of the cyst
