Am J Surg 2024; 233:114-119. [PMID: 38503684 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjsurg.2024.02.039] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2023] [Revised: 01/24/2024] [Accepted: 02/22/2024] [Indexed: 03/21/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare outcomes between benign intraductal papillomas diagnosed on core need biopsy that were excised (BIP-E) versus those that were followed-up (BIP-F) at our institution. METHODS Patients were identified by an electronic data base search from January 2010 to October 2016. After exclusions, clinical, radiological and histologic variables were evaluated and biopsy and excision slides reviewed. RESULTS 110 BIP from 104 females were analyzed. 84 BIP were excised and 26 BIP were followed up (mean 43.3 months, range 7-93 months).11 patients in BIP-E group had atypia on excision. There were no statistically significant differences between BIP-E with atypia and BIP-E without, except for clinical presentation with pain/discomfort (p = 0.015) in the former. There were no true upgrades to malignancy in both groups on follow up. One patient from each group developed a new breast cancer distant from IP site after nearly 4 years of uneventful follow-up. CONCLUSION Clinical follow up is an oncologically safe alternative for radiologically concordant BIP. Excision may be considered if a diagnosis of atypia would impact surveillence and chemoprevention recommendations.

Abstract
Background: Papillary lesions of the breast are a heterogeneous group, encompassing a wide range of lesions. The histologic distinction between papillary breast lesions remains challenging, especially on core biopsy specimens. Aim: This study aimed to determine the rate of upgrade to atypia or malignancy of biopsy-proven papillary lesions on surgical follow-up and to assess for factors associated with an upgrade in Greater Vancouver, BC, Canada. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective population-based study of all breast papillary lesions diagnosed on core biopsy between 2017 and 2019 in the Fraser Health Authority in Greater Vancouver, Canada. Patients were retrieved from the laboratory information system. Patient demographics, histopathologic, and radiologic findings were analyzed. Results: A total of 269 specimens from 269 patients (mean 61.1 years), including 265 female and 4 male patients, were included in the study. Of the 269 specimens, 129 (48%) were intraductal papillomas and 140 (52%) were atypical papillary lesions. The overall upgrade rate among papillomas was 11.6% (15 of 129) on final excision. The mean age of patients diagnosed with papilloma on core biopsy was significantly younger than those with atypical papillary lesions (55.6 vs 66.1 years, P < .0001). Lesion size in patients with papillomas on core biopsy was significantly smaller than those with atypical papillary lesions (11.1 vs 15.1 mm, P = .001). The upgrade rates in patients <55 and ≥55 years were 4.9% and 13.2%. Size (P = .004) and atypia on core biopsy (P = .009) were significantly associated with upgrade. Older age (>55 years) (OR = 5.3, 95% CI: 1.04-27.08) was an independent predictor of upgrade among papillomas. Size, location, and Breast Imaging-Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) radiologic categories in our study were not associated with predicting the upgrade of papillomas. Conclusion: Our data suggest that the risk of upgrade to atypia or malignancy is sufficient to warrant the excision of benign papillomas of any size in patients aged ≥55 years. In patients younger than 55 years, observation with close clinical and radiological follow-up without surgery may be sufficient. Our findings also support surgical excision of papillomas diagnosed on core biopsy when associated with atypia.

Clinicopathological and Imaging Features of Breast Papillary Lesions and Their Association with Pathologic Nipple Discharge. Diagnostics (Basel) 2023; 13:diagnostics13050878. [PMID: 36900021 PMCID: PMC10000596 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics13050878] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2023] [Revised: 02/22/2023] [Accepted: 02/23/2023] [Indexed: 03/03/2023] Open
Abstract
No studies have evaluated whether any clinicopathological or imaging characteristics of breast papillary lesions are associated with pathological nipple discharge (PND). We analyzed 301 surgically confirmed papillary breast lesions diagnosed between January 2012 and June 2022. We evaluated clinical (age of patient, size of lesion, pathologic nipple discharge, palpability, personal/family history of breast cancer or papillary lesion, location, multiplicity, and bilaterality) and imaging characteristics (Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS), sonographic, and mammographic findings) and compared malignant versus non-malignant lesions and papillary lesions with versus without PND. The malignant group was significantly older than the non-malignant group (p < 0.001). Those in the malignant group were more palpable and larger (p < 0.001). Family history of cancer and peripheral location in the malignant group were more frequent than in the non-malignant group (p = 0.022 and p < 0.001). The malignant group showed higher BI-RADS, irregular shape, complex cystic and solid echo pattern, posterior enhancement on ultrasound (US), fatty breasts, visibility, and mass type on mammography (p < 0.001, 0.003, 0.009, <0.001, <0.001, <0.001, and 0.01, respectively). On multivariate logistic regression analysis, peripheral location, palpability, and age of ≥50 years were factors significantly associated with malignancy (OR: 4.125, 3.556, and 3.390, respectively; p = 0.004, 0.034, and 0.011, respectively). Central location, intraductal nature, hyper/isoechoic pattern, and ductal change were more frequent in the PND group (p = 0.003, p < 0.001, p < 0.001, and p < 0.001, respectively). Ductal change was significantly associated with PND on multivariate analysis (OR, 5.083; p = 0.029). Our findings will help clinicians examine patients with PND and breast papillary lesions more effectively.

Abstract
Surgical excision of breast intraductal papilloma (IDP) without atypia diagnosed on core needle biopsy (CNB) is controversial as the risk of upgrade to malignant lesions is not well established. This study investigates upgrade rates of benign and atypical IDP to ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and invasive carcinoma (IC) and clinicopathologic predictors. We identified 556 cases of IDP diagnosed on CNB at a single institution from 2010-2020 after excluding patients with a history of breast carcinoma, ipsilateral high-risk lesion, radiologic/pathologic discordance, or less than 2 years of follow-up if no excision within one year. Of these, 97 biopsies were consistent with atypical IDP and 459 were benign IDP. Surgical excision was performed for 318 (57.2%), and the remaining 238 (42.8%) underwent active monitoring. The upgrade rate for IDP without atypia was 2/225 (0.9%; 1 DCIS and 1 IC). Of 93 surgically excised atypical IDPs, 19/93 (20.4%) upgraded (14 DCIS and 5 IC). Of 238 non-excised IDPs followed clinically (range 24-140 months, mean 60 months), there was no subsequent breast cancer diagnosed at the IDP site on follow-up. Mean age of patients was 56 yr±12.6sd without upgrade, 63 yr±10.6sd (p value=0.027) with DCIS, and 61 yr±10.8sd (p value=0.35) with IC. Atypical IDP was more likely to upgrade if biopsied by stereotactic guidance (8/19, 42.1% p=0.035). At our institution, we had an exceedingly low upgrade rate for benign IDP. Overall, patients with upgrade to DCIS were older. For atypical IDP, upgrade was seen in higher proportions of stereotactic biopsies.

Abstract
Background: Despite numerous published studies, management of benign papillomas without atypia remains controversial. Objective: To determine the malignancy upgrade rate of benign papillomas, identify risk factors for upgrade, and formulate criteria for selective surgery. Methods: This retrospective study included benign papillomas without atypia diagnosed on percutaneous biopsy between 12/01/2000 and 12/31/2019. Papillomas that did not undergo surgical excision or at least 2 years of imaging and/or clinical follow-up were excluded. Clinical, imaging, and histopathologic features were extracted from the electronic medical record. Features associated with upgrade to malignancy were identified. Multivariable logistic regression was performed. Results: The study included 612 benign papillomas in 543 women (mean age 54.5 ± 12.1 years); 466 papillomas were excised, and 146 underwent imaging/clinical surveillance. The upgrade rate to malignancy was 2.3% (14/612). Upgrade rate was associated (p<.05) with radiology-pathology correlation (50.0% if discordant vs 2.1% if concordant), patient age (5.6% for age ≥60 vs 0.7% for age <60), presenting symptoms (6.7% if palpable mass or pathologic nipple discharge vs 1.3% if no symptoms), and lesion size (7.3% if ≥10 mm vs 0.6% if <10 mm). Three of 14 upgraded papillomas were associated with ≥4 metachronous or concurrent peripheral papillomas. No incidental papilloma or papilloma reported as completely excised on core biopsy histopathologic analysis was upgraded. A predictive model combining radiology-pathology discordance, symptoms (palpable mass or nipple discharge), age ≥60, size ≥10 mm, and presence of ≥4 metachronous or concurrent peripheral papillomas achieved AUC 0.91, sensitivity 79%, and specificity 89% for upgrade. Selective surgery based on presence of any of these five factors, while excluding from surgery incidental papillomas and papillomas reported as completely excised on histopathology, would spare 294 of 612 lesions from routine excision, while identifying all 14 upgraded lesions. Conclusion: Benign non-atypical papillomas have a low malignancy upgrade rate; routine surgical excision may not be necessary. Selective excision is recommended for lesions satisfying any of the 5 criteria. Incidental papillomas or papillomas completely excised on histopathology may undergo imaging follow-up. Clinical Impact: The proposed criteria for selective surgery of benign papillomas on core biopsy would reduce surgeries without delaying diagnosis of malignancy.

Abstract
Background Breast intraductal papilloma (IP) is mainly caused by the abnormal proliferation of ductal epithelial cells. Tree shrews have potential as an animal model for the study of breast tumours; however, little is known regarding the transcriptome and DNA methylome landscapes of breast IP in tree shrews. In this research, we conducted whole-genome DNA methylation and transcriptome analyses of breast IP and normal mammary glands in tree shrews. Methods DNA methylation profiles were generated from the whole-genome bisulfite sequencing and whole-transcriptome landscapes of IP and control groups of tree shrews through strand-specific library construction and RNA sequencing. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes functional enrichment analyses and gene set enrichment analysis were performed. Spearman’s correlation analysis was used to identify statistical relationships between gene expression and DNA methylation. Results A genome-wide perspective of the epigenetic regulation of protein-coding genes in breast IP in tree shrews was obtained. The methylation levels at CG sites were considerably higher than those at CHG or CHH sites, and were highest in gene body regions. In total, 3,486, 82 and 361 differentially methylated regions (DMRs) were identified in the context of CG, CHG, and CHH, respectively, and 701 differentially methylated genes (DMGs) were found. Further, through transcriptomic analysis, 62 differentially expressed genes, 50 long noncoding RNAs, and 32 circular RNAs were identified in breast IP compared to normal mammary glands. Correlation analysis between the DNA methylation and transcriptome data revealed that 25 DMGs were also differentially expressed genes, among which the expression levels of 9 genes were negatively correlated with methylation levels in gene body regions. Importantly, integrated analysis identified 3 genes (PDZ domain-containing 1, ATPase plasma membrane Ca2+ transporting 4 and Lymphocyte cytosolic protein 1) that could serve as candidates for further study of breast IP in tree shrews. Conclusions This research has unearthed the comprehensive landscape of the transcriptome and DNA methylome of spontaneous IP in tree shrews, as well as candidate tumorigenesis related genes in IP. These results will contribute to the use of tree shrews in animal models of breast tumours.

Abstract
Papillary breast lesions are rare breast tumors that comprise a broad spectrum of diseases. Pathologically they present as mass-like projections attached to the wall of the ducts, supported by fibrovascular stalks lined by epithelial cells. On mammogram they appear as masses that can be associated with microcalcifications. Ultrasound is the most used imaging modality. On ultrasound papillary lesions appear as homogeneous solid lesions or complex intracystic lesions. A nonparallel orientation, an echogenic halo or posterior acoustic enhancement associated with microcalcifications are highly suggestive of malignancy. MRI has proven to be useful to establish the extent of the lesion. Core needle biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosis. Surgical excision is usually recommended, although treatment for papillomas without atypia is still controversial.

Abstract
The management of intraductal papilloma (IDP) diagnosed on core needle biopsy (CNB) is controversial due to the variable upgrade rates to breast carcinoma (BC) on subsequent surgical excision reported in the literature. The purpose of our study was to investigate the upgrade rate of IDP diagnosed on CNB to BC in subsequent surgical excision and the impact of clinical, pathologic, and radiologic variables. This is a retrospective cohort of all women who had a diagnosis of IDP on a CNB between 2005 and 2018 in a tertiary academic center with subsequent surgical excision. Upgrade was defined as ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and invasive carcinoma on surgical excision. Statistical analyses included Pearson's chi-square, Wilcoxon rank-sum, and logistic regression. A total of 216 women with IDP in a CNB were included. Nineteen patients (8.8%) upgraded to BC in the overall cohort, including 14 DCIS and 5 invasive carcinomas. An upgrade rate of 27% was found in atypical IDP (14 of 51 cases), while only 3% of pure IDP upgraded to BC (5 of 165 cases). Older age (>53 years) at the time of biopsy (odds ratio [OR] = 1.05, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.01-1.09, p = 0.027) and concomitant atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) (OR = 9.69, 95% CI = 3.37-27.81, p < 0.0001) were significantly associated with upgrade. Our results support surgical excision of IDP on CNB when associated with ADH or diagnosed in women aged older than 53 years. The low surgical upgrade rate of 3% for pure IDP on CNB in younger women should be part of the management discussion.

Abstract
In this study, 550 breast papillary neoplasms collected in a community hospital over more than ten years were reviewed and analyzed. This included 457 intraductal papillomas, 53 papillary carcinomas, 35 papillary DCIS and five invasive papillary carcinomas. The diagnostic rate of papillary neoplasms increased over time, likely due to better recognition by pathologists. Intraductal papillomas occurred most frequently in the upper outer quadrants and contained ADH/DCIS in 19% of cases. A total of 28% of non-incidental papillomas were associated with ADH/DCIS, and 29% of patients with papillomas had ADH/DCIS in adjacent tissue; nearly half of papillomas that were > 1 cm in size contained ADH/DCIS in the papilloma or adjacent to it. No single feature could predict an upgrade on excision for non-atypical intraductal papillomas diagnosed on core biopsy. There was no significant difference in the association of ADH/DCIS with central or peripheral papillomas. The overall upgrade rate of non-atypical intraductal papillomas to DCIS on excision was 2%, which justifies the conservative management of non-atypical sub-centimeter lesions. Papillary carcinomas occurred in older than intraductal papilloma patients and were most frequent in the upper quadrants. Although classically devoid of a myoepithelial cell layer, papillary carcinomas may contain some residual or even an ample myoepithelial cell layer in the papillae. An association between papillary carcinoma and conventional invasive carcinoma was found in 40% of EPCs and 89% of SPCs. Papillary DCIS was usually low- or intermediate-grade. The presence of a myoepithelial cell layer in the papillae was not inconsistent with this diagnosis. Invasive papillary carcinoma may have two histologic patterns: papillary and cribriform.

Abstract
Background Breast intraductal papilloma is a heterogeneous group. The aim of the study is to investigate the intraductal breast papilloma and its coexisting lesions retrospectively in real‐world practice. Methods We retrospectively identified 4450 intraductal breast papilloma and its coexisting lesions. Results About 18.36% of intraductal papilloma coexisted with malignant lesions of the breast, 37.33% coexisted with atypia hyperplasia (AH), 25.24% coexisted with benign lesions, and only 19.10% coexisted without concomitant lesions. In addition, 36.80% of intraductal breast papilloma had nipple discharge, 51.46% had a palpable breast mass, and 16.45% had both nipple discharge and a palpable breast mass. About 28.18% experienced discomfort or were asymptomatic. Furthermore, 98.99% had ultrasound abnormalities, and 53.06% had intraductal hypoechogenicity upon ultrasound. 31.89% had mammographic distortion, and 14.45% had microcalcification upon mammography. Intraductal breast papilloma with malignancy had significant correlations with clinical manifestations. Conclusion Coexisting malignancy was also related to ultrasound abnormality (BIRADS 4C and 5), mammographic distortion, and microcalcification upon mammography but was not related to the intraductal hypoechoic upon ultrasound. Coexisting atypical hyperplasia correlated with nipple discharge but not palpable mass, mammographic distortion, or intraductal hypoechoic upon ultrasound. The coexisting AH was also related to abnormality upon ultrasound or microcalcification compared with the benign lesions. The intraductal papilloma coexists with malignancy or AH accounted for more than 50%, and the clinical information on papilloma and its coexisting lesions is nonspecific. We recommended surgical treatment for benign intraductal papillary lesions.

Abstract
The majority of breast cancer arises from the ductal epithelium. It is crucial in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer by detecting intraductal lesions at an early stage. The typical clinical characteristic of intraductal lesions is pathological nipple discharge (PND), although many patients with intraductal lesions do not exhibit PND. It is a serious challenge for clinicians to detect patients with intraductal lesions without PND at an early stage. The aim of the present study was to investigate the risk factors associated with intraductal lesions in patients without PND. This retrospective database review, conducted between April 2016 and April 2017, included 370 lesions from 255 patients with intraductal lesions (intraductal papilloma, atypical intraductal hyperplasia, intraductal carcinoma in situ) and non-intraductal lesions (fibroadenoma, adenosis, cysts, lobular carcinoma in situ), diagnosed through surgical pathology. The patients were divided into two groups based on pathological diagnosis and clinical parameters were evaluated using univariate and multivariate analyses. Univariate analysis revealed that 9 of 14 factors were statistically significant. Five factors were identified to be associated risk factors in patients without PND through the multivariate logistic regression analysis: Age between 35 and 49 years and age ≥50 years [odds ratio (OR)=4.749, 95% confidence interval (CI)=2.371-9.513, P<0.001; OR=2.587, 95% CI=2.587-14.891, P<0.001; respectively], non-menstrual breast pain (OR=1.922, 95% CI=1.037-3.564, P=0.038), breast duct dilatation as seen using ultrasonography (OR=9.455, 95% CI=3.194-27.987, P<0.001), lesion distance from nipple ≤2 cm (OR=2.747, 95% CI=1.668-4.526, P<0.001) and lesion size ≤1 cm (OR=1.903, 95% CI=1.155-3.136, P=0.012). In conclusion, for patients without PND but with risk factors, such as the patient being >35 years, with non-menstrual breast pain, breast duct ectasia, lesion distance from nipple ≤2 cm and lesion size ≤1 cm as seen using ultrasonography, clinicians should be highly concerned about the possibility of intraductal lesions, in order to prevent misdiagnosis and reduce the misdiagnosis rate.

Abstract
Background Traditionally, surgical excision is recommended for benign papillary lesions in core-needle biopsy (CNB) because of their malignant potency. The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with disease upgrading to malignancy in patients with benign papillary lesions in CNB. Methods A total of 179 female patients were evaluated retrospectively who were diagnosed as having a benign papillary lesion in CNB and underwent a subsequent surgical excision between January 2007 and December 2016. Ultrasonography-guided CNB was performed using a 14-gauge needle gun method. Results The rate of upgrade to malignancy was 10.6% (7.6% in papillary lesions without atypia vs. 33.3% in papillary lesions with atypia; P=0.001). The univariable analysis revealed that older age at diagnosis (≥50 years old), menopause, lesion size on ultrasonography, palpability, multifocality, and atypia in CNB were associated with upgrading. The multivariable analysis revealed that age ≥50 years (OR, 4.6; 95% CI, 1.5-14.1; P=0.008), lesion size of ≥2 cm (OR, 6.4; 95% CI, 1.9-21.1; P=0.002), and atypia in CNB (OR, 5.1; 95% CI, 1.5-18.2; P=0.011) were significantly associated with upgrading to malignancy. Conclusions Upgrading to malignancy in patients with benign papillary lesions in CNB was associated with age ≥50 years, lesion size ≥2 cm, and atypia in CNB.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To determine whether patients with benign papilloma diagnosed on core biopsy can be spared from surgery. METHODS We prospectively reviewed 150 consecutive core biopsy-diagnosed papilloma cases at a multi-specialty high-risk breast lesion conference to determine whether surgical excision was necessary. Of these 150 cases, 148 had concordant radiologic-pathologic features. Six were excluded due to lack of the first imaging follow-up until analysis. 112 were benign papillomas; 17 were papillomas involved by atypical ductal hyperplasia (atypical papilloma); 6 papillomas had ADH in adjacent tissue but not involving the papilloma; 2 papillomas were involved by atypical lobular hyperplasia (ALH); and 5 papillomas had ALH in adjacent tissue. Two were radiology-pathology (rad-path) discordant. RESULTS Thirty-nine of the 112 benign papillomas were excised with no upgrade to carcinoma; 73 were followed with no disease progression during follow-up (185-1279 days). Fifteen of 17 atypical papillomas were surgically excised with 4 (26.7%) upgraded to carcinoma. Four of the 6 patients with ADH adjacent to a benign papilloma underwent excision with 2 upgrades to carcinoma. None of the patients with papilloma, which was either involved by ALH or had ALH in adjacent tissue had upgrade or disease progression during follow-up (204-1159 days). Finally, the two cases with discordant path-rad discordant were excised with no upgrade. CONCLUSIONS Our data confirm that rad-path concordant benign papillomas diagnosed on core biopsy do not require surgery. It also supports the value of a formal multi-specialty review of all benign papilloma cases to create a consensus management plan.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to determine the upgrade rate on excision of intraductal papilloma (IDP) without atypia diagnosed on breast core needle biopsy (CNB). METHODS We searched our pathology department database for breast CNB with a diagnosis of IDP from 2013 to 2018. The exclusion criteria included radiologic-pathologic discordance, atypia on the same CNB, absence of histologic slides to review or absence of excision information. Upgrade was defined as ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) or invasive cancer identified on excision. RESULTS 126 IDP without atypia cases from 94 patients were identified. The upgrade rate was 1.58% (2/126). Both upgrade cases showed DCIS with low and intermediate nuclear grade. Histologic size of IDP ≥1 cm was the only statistically significant predictor factor for an upgrade on excision. CONCLUSION The results suggest that non-surgical management of patients with radiologic-pathologic concordant IDP without atypia diagnosed on CNB may be appropriate in routine practice.

Abstract
CONTEXT Surgical excision of benign intraductal papillomas (IDP) diagnosed on core needle biopsy (CNB) remains controversial. OBJECTIVE To examine the upgrade rate of IDPs diagnosed at core needle biopsy to carcinoma at surgical excision. DESIGN We identified 188 consecutive IDPs diagnosed at CNB from 2011 to 2016 with subsequent surgical excision. Radiologic, clinical, and histologic features were evaluated and correlated with upgrade rate at surgical excision. RESULTS Two of the 188 IDPs (1.1%) were upgraded to ductal carcinoma in situ or invasive carcinoma at excision. Features associated with upgrade rate include patient age (P = .03), largest size of papilloma on a single core at CNB (P = .04), and the presence of additional masses noted at ultrasound (P = .03). CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrated a low 1.1% upgrade rate of surgically excised benign, concordant papillomas with no atypia or concurrent ipsilateral malignancy originally diagnosed on core biopsy. This data suggests that observation may be appropriate for radiologic-pathologic concordant benign IDPs diagnosed at CNB.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Current surgical practice often leads to excision of all papillary lesions of the breast diagnosed on percutaneous biopsy. This study aims to identify a subset of patients with papillary lesions who may be able to avoid surgery. METHODS Between January 2000 and December 2015, 157 cases of papillary lesions with complete surgical excision pathology results were reviewed retrospectively to compare the clinical, imaging and pathology features. Of these, 50 patients with benign papillary lesions without atypia and 19 patients with benign papillary lesions with atypia on needle biopsy were analysed to determine the rate of upgrade to malignancy after surgery. RESULTS Of the 50 patients with benign papillary lesions without atypia on biopsy, two (4%) were upgraded to low grade ductal carcinoma in situ after surgical excision. Both these patients had suspicious features on imaging. Of the 19 patients with papillary lesions with atypia diagnosed on needle biopsy, eight (42%) were upgraded to malignancy after surgery. The differences between benign, atypical and malignant papillary lesions were further compared. Malignant lesions were more suspicious radiologically (P = 0.001), more likely to have architectural distortion (P = 0.001), more peripherally located (P = 0.001) and were larger in size (P = 0.01). Patients diagnosed with malignant lesions were also older (P = 0.001). CONCLUSION Younger patients diagnosed with small central benign papillary lesions without atypia on needle biopsy, and without suspicious imaging, may be managed conservatively with surveillance.

Abstract
Background The management of intraductal papilloma without atypia (IDP) in breast needle biopsy remains controversial. This study investigates the upgrade rate of IDP to carcinoma and clinical and radiologic features predictive of an upgrade. Methods Patients with a diagnosis of IDP on image-guided (mammography, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging) core needle or vacuum-assisted biopsy and surgical excision of this lesion at a certified breast center between 2007 and 2017 were included in this institutional review board-approved retrospective study. Appropriate statistical tests were performed to assess clinical and radiologic characteristics associated with an upgrade to malignancy at excision. Results For 60 women with 62 surgically removed IDPs, the upgrade rate to malignancy was 16.1% (10 upgrades, 4 invasive ductal carcinoma, 6 ductal carcinoma in situ). IDPs with upgrade to carcinoma showed a significantly greater distance to the nipple (63.5 vs. 36.8 mm; p = 0.012). No significant associations were found between upgrade to carcinoma and age, menopausal status, lesion size, microcalcifications, BI-RADS descriptors, initial BI-RADS category, and biopsy modality. Conclusion The upgrade rate at excision for IDPs diagnosed with needle biopsy was higher than expected according to some guideline recommendations. Observation only might not be appropriate for all patients with IDP, particularly for those with peripheral IDP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraductal papilloma (IDP) is well-known as one of the common benign breast lesions requiring excision. However, treatment of IDP without atypia is controversial. The aim of our study was to determine the proper management of solitary IDP by core needle biopsy (CNB). PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed patients with solitary IDP confirmed by CNB from March 2003 to March 2015. We collected data about final pathology after excision, as well as clinical, histologic, and radiologic findings at initial diagnosis. The final pathology was categorized as benign or malignant. We evaluated the rate of upgrade to malignancy and factors associated with malignancy. RESULTS We identified 405 patients who presented benign solitary IDP by CNB. The mean age was 46.1 years (range, 15-86 years). In total, 135 patients underwent surgical excision, and 211 underwent vacuum-assisted excision. Of 346 patients, malignant lesions were found in 8 patients (2.3%): 7 underwent surgical excision, and 1 underwent vacuum-assisted excision. Only the size of IDP was significantly associated with cancer upgrade (P = .003). CONCLUSIONS Our study shows that overall malignancy upgrade rate of benign solitary IDP after excision is very low (2.3%). Even when the size of IDP was less than 1 cm, the upgrade rate to cancer was only 0.9%. Therefore, for patients with small solitary IDP, we recommend close follow-up with ultrasound instead of excision.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The surgical management of mammary intraductal papilloma without atypia (IDP) identified at core-needle biopsy (CNB) is controversial. This study assessed the rate of upgrade to carcinoma at surgical excision (EXC). METHODS This study identified women with a CNB diagnosis of intraductal papilloma without atypia or carcinoma at a cancer center between 2003 and 2013. Radiologic-pathologic concordance was assessed for all cases, and discordant cases were excluded. The radiologic and clinicopathologic features of patients with a CNB diagnosis of IDP were correlated with an upgrade to carcinoma at EXC. RESULTS The study population consists of 189 women with 196 IDPs; 166 women (171 IDPs) underwent EXC. The upgrade rate was 2.3% (4 of 171). The upgraded lesions were 2 invasive lobular carcinomas and 2 cases of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). One case of DCIS involved the residual IDP, whereas the other 3 carcinomas were ≥ 8 mm away. Twenty-four women (25 IDPs) did not undergo EXC and had stable imaging on follow-up (median, 23.5 months). CONCLUSIONS The upgrade rate at EXC for IDPs diagnosed at CNB with radiologic-pathologic concordance was 2.3%. These findings suggest that observation is appropriate for patients with radiologic-pathologic concordant CNB yielding IDP, regardless of its size. Cancer 2016. © 2016 American Cancer Society.

Outcomes of benign breast papillomas diagnosed at image-guided vacuum-assisted core needle biopsy. Clin Imaging 2015; 39:576-81. [PMID: 25691147 DOI: 10.1016/j.clinimag.2015.01.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2014] [Accepted: 01/29/2015] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the upgrade rate of benign papillomas diagnosed at image-guided vacuum-assisted core needle biopsy (VACNB) and to compare our results with the summarized literature. MATERIALS AND METHODS A database search was performed to identify patients older than 18 years of age with benign papillomas diagnosed at VACNB between 2004 and 2013. A total of 199 papillomas in 184 patients were identified. Clinical, imaging, and pathological features for each were analyzed. Patients who were subsequently diagnosed with malignancy at the site of papilloma, either at surgical excision or upon imaging follow-up, were compared with those not upgraded. Upgrade was defined as a diagnosis of invasive carcinoma or ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). RESULTS Of 199 papillomas, 110 (55.3%) were diagnosed at ultrasound-guided VACNB, 78 (39.2%) were diagnosed at stereotactic-guided VACNB, and 11 (5.5%) were diagnosed at magnetic resonance imaging-guided VACNB. Surgical excision was performed for 89 (44.7%), and the remaining 110 (55.3%) underwent imaging follow-up. Two patients were subsequently diagnosed with invasive carcinoma and 4 were found with DCIS. The upgrade rate across both groups was 3% (6 of 199). Masses with calcifications (P=.001) and smaller needle gauge at VACNB (P=.02) had a significant association with upgrade. CONCLUSION Benign papillomas diagnosed with VACNB demonstrated a 3% upgrade rate to malignancy, which is similar to the 2.9% upgrade rate calculated by compiling applicable published literature. Conservative management with imaging follow-up as opposed to surgical excision may be appropriate in cases where an initial diagnosis of benign papilloma is made with VACNB. Benign papillomas associated with calcifications on imaging should be considered for surgical excision given their increased association with malignancy.

Abstract
AIMS To assess the outcome of breast papillary lesions diagnosed by ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy (CB) or vacuum-assisted 'mammotome' biopsy (MT), the accuracy of these diagnoses, and whether it is justified not to undertake surgical excision of non-malignant papillary lesions so diagnosed. METHODS AND RESULTS Among 3219 (MT, 2195; CB, 1024) breast biopsies spanning 5 years, 185 (5.7%) papillary lesions [MT, 162 (88%); CB, 23 (12%)] were identified. Of these, 142 cases (77%; MT/CB, 125/17) were benign, 24 (13%, 23/1) were atypical, and 19 (10%; 14/5) were malignant. Of the 142 benign cases, 114 had imaging follow-up (FU) (FU period 2-81 months); 17 of 114 cases were excised, and four were malignant (3.5%) (FU period 4-57 months). Of the 24 atypical cases (23 had FU), 19 were excised: six were benign (32%) and 13 malignant (68%). The remaining four cases were considered to be non-malignant (FU period 7-54 months). CONCLUSIONS Benign papillary lesions diagnosed by MT or CB might not require immediate excision, but should receive imaging FU for at least 5 years. Excision should be performed in cases showing changes in imaging features, as the possibilities of carcinoma coexisting with papilloma or carcinoma developing from papilloma cannot be excluded, as illustrated by the 4% upgrade rate at excision in this study.

Abstract
One-hundred-fourteen consecutive cases of breast ultrasound-guided 14-gauge needle core biopsy (14G NCB) performed from January 2001 to June 2013 and diagnosed as non-malignant papillary lesion (PL)-B3, were reviewed and compared with definitive histological diagnosis on surgical excision (SE) to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound-guided 14G NCB. PL with epithelial atypia on 14G NCB were associated to malignancy on definitive histological diagnosis on SE in 22 (7 DCIS and 15 invasive carcinomas) of 46 cases with an underestimation rate of 47.8 %, while 9 (4 DCIS and 5 invasive carcinomas) cases out of 68 cases of PL without epithelial atypia were upgraded to carcinoma with an underestimation rate of 13.2 %. In cases of PL with epithelial atypia on ultrasound-guided 14G NCB, SE appears mandatory due to the high risk of associated malignancy. The diagnosis of PL without epithelial atypia on ultrasound-guided 14G NCB does not exclude malignancy at subsequent SE, consequently further assessment (by surgical or vacuum-assisted excision) is recommended to avoid the risk of delaying a diagnosis of malignancy, although this tends to be lower (1 in 8 patients).

Abstract
Prediction of subsequent risks of breast carcinoma (BC) development in intraductal papilloma (IDP) has remained controversial with the exception of atypical papilloma (AP). The potential value of immunohistochemistry (IHC) of cytokeratin 5/6 [CK5/6] and p63 have been proposed but its standardization has also remained controversial. We studied 17 patients initially diagnosed as IDP or AP who subsequently developed BC with 34 age-matched controls. We compared histological features, results of IHC (estrogen receptor [ER], progesterone receptor [PR], human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 [HER2], p63, CK5/6, Ki67), and ultrasound findings. Univariate conditional logistic regression analysis revealed that the status of both CK5/6 and p63/CK5/6 were significantly associated with subsequent BC development (P < 0.05). BC development in CK5/6 positive patients was 17.9% and p63/CK5/6 double positive patients 8.6%, respectively. Ultrasound evaluation was not significantly associated with any of the parameters examined and subsequent carcinoma development. Despite CK5/6 positivity, the subsequent incidence of BC development was nearly 20%. However p63/CK5/6 double positive status could predict a significantly lower subsequent carcinoma incidence, indicating a more accurate prognostic utility. Combining p63/CK5/6 with histological findings could be easily applied and could predict the subsequent BC development of the patients diagnosed as IDP at biopsy.

Abstract
Papillomas of the breast are benign epithelial neoplasms. Because of the low, but continued potential for malignancy, the treatment options after initial diagnosis remain controversial. The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical course of patients with papilloma who were managed by active surveillance following initial diagnosis by core needle biopsy or vacuum-assisted biopsy. This retrospective study analyzed 174 patients with 180 papillomas that were diagnosed by core needle biopsy (113 cases) or vacuum-assisted biopsy (67 cases) at the Breast Center Seefeld Zurich between February 2002 and May 2011. We excluded 24 cases that underwent excisional biopsy for removal of the lesion. Over a mean follow-up of 3.5 years, 13 further events occurred in 156 cases (8%). These events included two cases of ductal carcinoma in situ (one after 4 and one after 6 years), one case of atypical ductal hyperplasia, one radial scar, eight cases of papilloma, and one case of flat epithelial atypia. No invasive carcinomas occurred during the follow-up period. Conservative management of 156 papillary lesions with removal by vacuum-assisted biopsy and surveillance was not associated with invasive cancer over a median follow-up of 3.5 years. Therefore, this approach seems to be a safe option for the clinical management of papillary lesions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The management of benign papilloma (BP) without atypia identified on breast core needle biopsy (CNB) is controversial. In this study, we determined the upgrade rate to malignancy for BPs without atypia diagnosed on CNB and whether there are factors associated with upgrade. METHODS Through our pathology database search, we studied 80 BPs without atypia identified on CNB from 80 patients from 1997 to 2010, including 30 lesions that had undergone excision and 50 lesions that had undergone ≥ 2 years of radiologic follow-up. Associations between surgery or upgrade to malignancy and clinical, radiologic, and pathologic features were analyzed. RESULTS Mass lesions, lesions sampled by ultrasound-guided CNB, and palpable lesions were associated with surgical excision. All 3 upgraded cases were mass lesions sampled by ultrasound-guided CNB. None of the lesions with radiologic follow-up only were upgraded to malignancy. The overall upgrade rate was 3.8%. None of the clinical, radiologic, or histologic features were predictive of upgrade. CONCLUSION Because the majority of patients can be safely managed with radiologic surveillance, a selective approach for surgical excision is recommended. Our proposed criteria for excision include pathologic/radiologic discordance or sampling by ultrasound-guided CNB without vacuum assistance when the patient is symptomatic or lesion size is ≥ 1.5 cm.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Today, in cases of nipple discharge of unclear origin, the abundance of diagnostic procedures - a, diagnostic dilemma' - becomes apparent, because unequivocal indications and a current, standardized examination sequence are presently not available. The diagnostic workup of patients with nipple discharge usually includes the clinical history, physical examination, mammography, ultrasonography, galactography, and nipple discharge cytology, but not ductoscopy. METHODS In this review we analyze and discuss the possible role of ductoscopy in evaluating intraductal pathologies and its combined use with diagnostic imaging modalities. For this purpose, we reviewed and compared the results of the radiological, pathological, and surgical studies independently. CONCLUSIONS Currently, there is no solitary accurate modality to reach our definitive purpose. Being aware of the capability of each diagnostic modality may take us closer to our target. Therefore, adjunct and appropriate use of multiple imaging modalities and ductoscopy is necessary to evaluate patients with nipple discharge.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical factors and sonographic features of benign papillomas of the breast proven by sonographically guided 14-gauge core needle biopsy and their upgrade or malignancy rate after sonographically guided vacuum-assisted excision or surgical excision. METHODS We reviewed the medical records of patients who underwent core needle biopsy from July 2005 to December 2011. We evaluated 39 benign papillomas without atypia in 34 patients. The papillomas were diagnosed by core needle biopsy and underwent surgical or vacuum-assisted excision. After core needle biopsy, imaging-histologic correlation was performed to determine concordance. The upgrade and malignancy rates were assessed after surgical or vacuum-assisted excision, and associated clinical and radiologic factors, including patient age, lesion size, distance from the nipple, sonographic features, and American College of Radiology Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) category were evaluated. RESULTS Three lesions (7.7 %) among 39 papillomas were upgraded to papilloma with atypia after surgical excision. There was no malignancy after excision. The upgrade rates for BI-RADS categories 3, 4a, 4b, and 4c were 0%, 6.9%, 0%, and 20%, respectively. There were no significant differences in the upgrade to papilloma with atypia in terms of the presence of symptoms, lesion size, distance from the nipple, BI-RADS category, or imaging-histologic correlation. CONCLUSIONS Prediction of papilloma with atypia, not malignancy, was challenging because there were no associated clinical or radiologic factors to predict papilloma with atypia before excision. However, there was no malignancy after excision. Therefore, intensive surveillance is preferable to immediate surgical excision for benign papillomas diagnosed on core needle biopsy.

Abstract
AIM To ascertain the negative predictive value (NPV) for atypia and malignancy of 14 G core biopsy of papillomas and to determine whether lesion type influences the likelihood of malignancy at lesion excision. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety-six lesions with a 14 G core biopsy diagnosis of benign papilloma without atypia in 95 women were included. The imaging features (mass or microcalcification), biopsy mode, and number of core samples taken were documented. All patients subsequently underwent lesion excision with either extensive vacuum-assisted biopsy (VAB; 72 lesions) or surgery (24 lesions). Mammographic follow-up of at least 2 years was available for 32 lesions that were benign at VAB. RESULTS Atypia or malignancy was found more commonly in association with microcalcification (six of 29 lesions: 21%; median number of nine 14 G cores) than a mass (five of 67 lesions: 7%; median number of three 14 G cores), although the difference does not reach statistical significance (p = 0.088). The NPV of a 14 G core biopsy diagnosis of papilloma for atypia or malignancy is 89% (85/96). Disease underestimation may be more common in microcalcification lesions despite the greater number of cores obtained. CONCLUSION Excision (using VAB or surgically) of all papillomas diagnosed as benign on 14 G needle core biopsy is recommended. Surgery may be more appropriate than VAB for some microcalcification lesions unless they are small and can be confidently removed in their entirety using VAB.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the upstage rate from nonmalignant papillary breast lesions obtained at imaging-guided core needle biopsy (CNB) and if there are any clinical, imaging, or pathologic features that can be used to predict eventual upstaging to malignancy. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective case review was institutional review board approved and HIPAA compliant, with a waiver of informed consent. A database search (from January 2001 to March 2010) was performed to find patients with a nonmalignant papillary breast lesion diagnosed at CNB. Of the resulting 128 patients, 86 (67%) underwent surgical excision; 42 (33%) patients were observed with imaging, for a median observation time of 4.1 years (range, 1.0-8.6 years). Chart review was performed to determine pertinent features of each case. RESULTS Fourteen of 128 patients were subsequently found to have malignancy at excision, for an upstage rate of 11%. Nine (7%) of the 128 patients were subsequently found to have atypia at excision. Comparisons between patients with upstaged lesions and patients whose lesions were not upstaged demonstrated patients with upstaged lesions to be slightly older (65 vs 56 years, P=.01), more likely to have a mass than calcifications at imaging (P=.03), and to have had less tissue obtained at biopsy (three vs five cores obtained, P=.02; 14- vs 9-gauge needle used, P<.01; no vacuum assistance used, P<.01). Most strongly predictive of eventual malignancy, however, was whether the interpreting pathologist qualified the benign diagnosis at CNB with additional commentary (P<.01). CONCLUSION Given the substantial upstage rate (11%) of papillary lesions diagnosed at imaging-guided CNB, surgical excision is an appropriate management decision; however, careful evaluation in concert with an expert breast pathologist may allow for observation in appropriately selected patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The clinical management of nonmalignant breast papillary lesions diagnosed at core-needle biopsy (CNB) is controversial. A meta-analysis was performed to evaluate pooled estimates of the underestimation of malignant papillary lesions (which were diagnosed as nonmalignant lesions at CNB) and to survey factors that affect that underestimation. METHODS We searched for studies that provided data on CNB underestimates of malignant breast papillary lesions indexed in PUBMED. The pooled estimate for underestimation was calculated. The association between each variable and underestimation was investigated using either random- or fixed-effects logistic modeling. RESULTS A total of 34 studies, which included 2,236 nonmalignant breast papillary lesions diagnosed at CNB and histologically examined after surgical excision, were included. Of these, 346 nonmalignant lesions at CNB were upgraded to malignant after surgical excision. The pooled estimate for the percentage of underestimation was 15.7% [95% confidence interval (CI): 12.8-18.5%]. The factors associated with higher underestimation included atypical papillary lesions (P<0.001), positive mammographic findings (P=0.022), and article publication year before 2005 (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS It is recommended that atypical papillary lesions at CNB undergo surgical excision, and it is reasonable to follow patients with benign lesions with serial imaging. Lesion type, mammographic findings, and article publication year were significantly associated with underestimation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Classifying papillary lesions of the breast on core biopsy (CB) is challenging. Although traditionally all such lesions were surgically excised, at present, conservative management of benign lesions is being advocated; therefore, accurately classifying papillary lesions on CB is all the more imperative. The extent to which subspecialty training in breast pathology might mitigate such difficulties in diagnosis has not yet been reported. We investigated change in diagnoses from CB to surgical excision according to subspecialist training in breast pathology and interobserver agreement between specialized breast pathologists (BPs) and nonbreast pathologists (NBPs) in classifying these lesions. DESIGN CBs of 281 papillary lesions from 266 patients diagnosed between 2000 and 2010 were classified by both a BP and NBP into benign, atypical, ductal carcinoma in situ/encapsulated papillary carcinoma, or invasive carcinoma categories. Rates of change in diagnostic category in the surgical excision specimen were calculated on the basis of: (i) the original diagnosis, (ii) diagnosis made by the BP, and (iii) diagnosis made by the NBP. Comparisons were made using the χ test. Kappa values were calculated for interobserver agreement. RESULTS Of 162 lesions with subsequent excision, 90 were originally diagnosed as benign, 38 as atypical, 25 as ductal carcinoma in situ/encapsulated papillary carcinoma, and 9 as invasive on CB. The upgrade rate for benign papillomas to an atypical or malignant lesion on surgical excision was 22.2% according to the original diagnosis. This rate fell to 16.3% when the BP diagnoses were considered, compared with 26.3% for the NBP diagnoses. There was no significant difference between BPs and NBPs in the rate of upgrade from a benign to an atypical/malignant diagnosis, although downgrades from atypical/malignant to benign papillomas were more commonly seen among NBPs (P=0.002). Overall, the BP diagnosis on CB was less likely to differ from the excision diagnosis (P=0.0001). Benign papillomas upgraded on excision were more likely to occur with larger radiologic mass size (P=0.033) compared with those that were not upgraded. Of 8 benign papillomas upgraded to a malignant lesion on excision, 7 were discordant on radiology. Interobserver agreement between BP and NBP diagnoses was in the "fair agreement" range (κ=0.38), with perfect agreement in 66.4% of cases. CONCLUSIONS Correlation between CB and excision diagnoses for breast papillary lesions is significantly greater for BPs than for NBPs. This is largely because of a tendency to overcall atypia or malignancy on CB by NBPs. However, upgrades from benign to atypical or malignant did not significantly differ according to subspecialization. With accurate pathologic assessment and radiologic-pathologic correlation, the upgrade rate of benign papillomas to malignancy can be minimized significantly.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to retrospectively assess the upgrade rate determined by surgery for sonographically detected benign papillomas at core needle biopsy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-four benign papillomas, detected during screening ultrasound and diagnosed at ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy in 58 patients (mean age, 44.6 years; range, 30-67 years), were surgically excised. The upgrade rate to atypical lesion and malignancy was determined on a per-lesion basis. Statistical analysis was performed to evaluate whether patients' age and lesion variables (i.e., size, distance from the nipple, and ultrasound findings) affected the upgrade rate. RESULTS Surgical excision revealed the presence of benign papillomas in 43 cases, no residual lesion in 12 cases, atypical papillomas in seven cases, and papillary ductal carcinoma in situ in two cases. The upgrade rates to atypical papilloma and to malignancy were 10.9% (7/64; 95% CI, 4.51-21.3%) and 3.1% (2/64; 95% CI, 0.38-10.8%), respectively. Mean lesion size was significantly larger for lesions that were upgraded to malignancies (1.4 cm vs 0.9 cm) (p = 0.04). Age, distance from the nipple, and ultrasound findings were not significantly associated with underestimation of atypical lesions or malignancies after excision (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION Our results show that the upgrade rate to malignancy determined by surgery for ultrasound-detected benign papillomas at core needle biopsy was 3.1% (2/64). Accordingly, for the accurate diagnosis of ultrasound-detected benign papillomas at core needle biopsy, surgical excision is recommended.

Abstract
PURPOSE To prospectively determine the rate of malignancy after surgery in papillary lesions initially diagnosed at ultrasound (US)-guided 11-gauge vacuum-assisted breast biopsies. METHODS Between May 2007 and December 2009, a total of 85 papillary lesions, including 73 benign papillomas and 12 atypical papillomas were diagnosed in 83 patients by US-guided 11-gauge vacuum-assisted breast biopsy. Surgical excision was recommended for all patients and 60 nonmalignant papillary lesions (49 benign papillomas and 11 atypical papillomas) in 60 patients (age range, 24-66 years; mean age, 45.0 years) were surgically excised. On a per-lesion basis, the upgrade rate to malignancy was calculated. Associations between clinical, lesion, and biopsy variables and the results of surgical excision were examined with a χ(2) test. RESULTS Surgical excision revealed the presence of benign papillomas in 34 cases, no residual lesion in 15 cases, atypical papillomas in nine cases, and ductal carcinoma-in-situ in two cases. The upgrade rate was 0% (0 of 49; 95% confidence interval 0-7.2) for benign papillomas and 18.2% (2 of 11; 95% confidence interval 2.3-51.8) for atypical papillomas. The core findings of atypical papillomas (P = 0.031) and age (P = 0.046) were associated with malignancy at excision, whereas personal or family history, presence of symptoms, multiplicity, lesion type, size, distance from the nipple, Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) category, and lesion removal at US showed no correlation to upgrade. CONCLUSIONS Surgical excision may not be required for lesions with a diagnosis of benign papilloma after US-guided 11-gauge vacuum-assisted breast biopsy, and a diagnosis of atypical papilloma should prompt excision for a definitive diagnosis.
