Can someone tell me what this means?

--- Heterogeneously Dense Fibroglandular Tissue, with prominent left axillary lymph node?

I just got the results of my last week's mammogram and my doctor called me at home and said I had to come in right away. But I read the paper results and it's in BI-RADS 2 = Benign Findings.

So why is my doctor so urgently concerned when Bi-rads 2 = Benign findings??

I am 36 years old and this is my first ever mammogram. My left breast has been bothing me off and on for a year or so now.

Can someone please tell me what Heterogeneously Dense Fibroglandular Tissue with prominent left axillary lymph node means?
Thank you so much,
God Bless.
