I saw the sign: Go nuts, it's the "acorn cyst" sign.

Clinical Imaging 2023 May 17
The "acorn cyst" sign is an imaging sign encountered on breast ultrasound exams denoting a type of benign complicated cyst.

Radiologists should attempt to distinguish the acorn cyst from more suspicious complex cystic and solid masses; if unable to do so, aspiration/biopsy can be performed to exclude a malignant lesion.
