There are quite a lot of examples in this category. These are mammograms that have the highest amount of dense fibroglandular tissue, which are the confluent fluffy white areas on each picture. These areas represent glands, milk ducts and fibers inside the breast itself. The darker areas of the fat or adipose tissue. You can see quite a lot of variability between individual women. It is common to have small cysts present within dense tissue, and a few of the examples show some small calcifications.
