Typically you would not be mailed results from a manual exam, the doctor discusses it with you at the time, adds it to your medical record, advises further action on anything “remarkable” and schedules that for you at the time.
The mammographer is not a doctor and is not allowed to analyze or discuss your results, they get sent to a doctor for that and then you get a letter in the mail about your hopefully unremarkable breasts.
You might be mailed results if you had a biopsy, but they would say “negative.” They would call you with a positive, benign or malignant result.
Every doctor visit I’ve ever had, for anything, since roughly 2010, possibly earlier, ends with them handing me a packet of paper that describes the doctor’s evaluation of me during that visit.
Was replying to OP who thought it was about distended breasts or skin issues.

I’m not a woman and have not had a mammogram, but how do you know its a mammogram?
Couldn’t an ‘exam’ be a manual examination, as in, the doc uses his/her eyes and hands?

Usually at least 3 pages long, sometimes longer.
You didn’t downvote him, but you can’t stop me from downvoting myself.
