jagged edges

A mass found during a mammogram will typically be described according to its shape, density (the amount of fat cells present and density of suspicious cells), and its margin (characteristics of its "edge"). When they're not clearly defined, they are referred to as "jagged". Cancerous lesions tend to have jagged edges.
