Radial scars/complex sclerosing lesions of the breast: radiologic and clinicopathologic correlation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We investigated the radiologic and clinical findings of radial scar and complex sclerosing lesions, and evaluated the rate of pathologic upgrade and predicting factors.

Methods

From review of our institution's database from January 2006 to December 2012, we enrolled 82 radial scars/complex sclerosing lesions in 80 women; 51 by ultrasound guided core needle biopsy, 1 by mammography-guided stereotactic biopsy, and 38 by surgical excision. The initial biopsy pathology revealed that 53 lesions were without high risk lesions and 29 were with high risk lesions. Radiologic, clinical and pathological results were analyzed statistically and upgrade rates were calculated.

Results

Of the 82 lesions, 64 (78.0%) were surgically excised. After surgical excision, two were
