poorly defined
poorly-defined

definition

[BI-RADS] Mammo: the poor definition of the margin or any portion of the margin raises concern that there may be infiltration by the lesion and this appearance is not likely due to superimposed normal breast tissue. US: There is no clear demarcation between a mass and its surrounding tissue. The boundary is poorly defined. For CALCIFICATIONS, see "amorphous"

comment

BI-RADS: used for calcifications; for margins use "indistinct margin".
