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
Sclerosing lesions of the breast encompass a spectrum of benign and malignant entities and often pose a diagnostic challenge. Awareness of key morphologic features and pitfalls in the assessment of morphology and immunophenotype is essential to avoid over- or underdiagnosis and ensure optimal clinical management. This review summarizes nonneoplastic sclerosing lesions such as radial scar/complex sclerosing lesion, sclerosing adenosis, sclerosing intraductal papilloma, sclerosing variants of ductal adenoma and nipple adenoma, and fibroadenoma with extensive sclerosis, including their clinical presentation, characteristic morphology, differential diagnostic considerations, appropriate immunohistochemical work-up, when needed, and the clinical significance. In addition, atypical or neoplastic entities (such as atypical ductal hyperplasia, ductal carcinoma in situ, low-grade adenosquamous carcinoma, and fibromatosis-like metaplastic carcinoma) that can involve these sclerosing lesions are also briefly discussed.

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.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Intraductal papilloma is a common breast lesion that may be associated with malignancy. While there is general agreement regarding surgical excision of intraductal papilloma with atypia, the management of benign intraductal papilloma is variable, involving either excision or observation. Of the small number of benign intraductal papillomas that upstage to malignancy on subsequent surgical excision, a significant number of these demonstrate malignancy in peripheral tissues adjacent to the biopsy site.
Case presentation
This report serves to illustrate two cases of benign intraductal papilloma upstaging to invasive lobular carcinoma and ductal carcinoma in situ.
Conclusion
Given the low rate of malignancy in benign intraductal papillomas, close surveillance may be recommended over surgical excision, however, generous sampling of the adjacent tissue about the target lesion should be considered.

Abstract
The vast majority of image-detected breast abnormalities are diagnosed by percutaneous core needle biopsy (CNB) in contemporary practice. For frankly malignant lesions diagnosed by CNB, the standard practice of excision and multimodality therapy have been well-defined. However, for high-risk and selected benign lesions diagnosed by CNB, there is less consensus on optimal patient management and the need for immediate surgical excision. Here we outline the arguments for and against the practice of routine surgical excision of commonly encountered high-risk and selected benign breast lesions diagnosed by CNB. The entities reviewed include atypical ductal hyperplasia, atypical lobular hyperplasia, lobular carcinoma in situ, intraductal papillomas, and radial scars. The data in the peer-reviewed literature confirm the benefits of a patient-centered, multidisciplinary approach that moves away from the reflexive "yes" or "no" for routine excision for a given pathologic diagnosis.

Abstract
Papillary lesions of the breast represent a heterogeneous group of neoplasm featuring fibrovascular cores covered by epithelial cells with or without intervening myoepithelial cells. According to the World Health Organization classification of breast tumors, papillary lesions of the breast are further classified into intraductal papilloma (including intraductal papilloma with atypical ductal hyperplasia /ductal carcinoma in situ), papillary ductal carcinoma in situ, encapsulated papillary carcinoma, solid papillary carcinoma (in situ and invasive) and invasive papillary carcinoma. The overlapping morphological features and immunohistochemical profiles make accurate diagnosis of breast papillary lesion a challenge for pathologists. In this review, the morphological and relevant immunohistochemical features of papillary lesions are discussed, with further emphasis on some commonly encountered practical diagnostic issues. A simple diagnostic algorithm will be established. The relevant molecular characteristics will be discussed as well.

Abstract
AIM In this study, we analyzed the upgrade rate and associated factors for upgrade, malignant upgrade, and subsequent breast cancer occurrence of papillary breast lesions diagnosed on core needle biopsy (CNB). METHODS One hundred sixty-nine patients who underwent surgery for the treatment of papillary breast lesions diagnosed on CNB were included in this study. Medical records including radiological and pathological reports were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS The overall upgrade rate was 29.6%, and upgrade rate to malignancy was 16.6%. Age over 45 years, preoperative tumor size ≥0.7 cm on breast ultrasound, pathologic tumor size ≥0.4 cm, breast imaging reporting and data system (BIRADS) category 4b or 4c, and personal history of breast cancer were associated with upgrade. In addition, age over 45 years, preoperative tumor size ≥0.9 cm, pathologic tumor size ≥0.6 cm, atypia in CNB, and BIRADS category 4b or 4c were associated with malignancy. The risk of subsequent breast cancer occurrence was increased in preoperative tumor size ≥0.8 cm, pathologic tumor size ≥0.5 cm, multiple and recurrent lesions. CONCLUSION Our study showed high upgrade rate of papillary breast lesions diagnosed on CNB. Our findings suggest that surgical excision is recommended for papillary breast lesions diagnosed on CNB in selected patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Current standard management for intraductal papilloma (IDP) diagnosed at biopsy indicates complete surgical resection, but there are increasing controversies over whether and when routine excision is indeed necessary. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the carcinoma upgrade rate and identify the associated predictive factors for IDP diagnosed at biopsy by meta-analysis. METHODS We searched the PubMed and EMBASE databases for studies published from 2009 to 2020 that investigated the upgrade rate and predictive factors of IDP diagnosed at biopsy. RESULTS A total of 7016 IDP cases diagnosed at biopsy and histologically examined after surgical excision were pooled from 44 original studies. The pooled prevalence of IDP in breast biopsy findings was 4.6% [95% confidence interval (CI) 4.4-4.7%] and the majority of IDP tumors were benign. The pooled upgrade rates to carcinoma for benign IDP and atypical IDP were 5.0% (95% CI 4.4-5.5%) and 36.0% (95% CI 32.7-39.2%), respectively. In addition, we identified 10 predictive upgrade factors for benign IDP, including Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) 5, BI-RADS 4C, mass and calcification in the mammographic finding, bloody nipple discharge, imaging-histological discordance, peripheral IDP, palpable mass, BI-RADS 4B, microcalcification, and lesion size ≥ 1 cm. The upgrade rates associated with these predictive factors ranged from 7.3 to 31.1%. CONCLUSION Surgical excision appears a reasonable recommendation for atypical IDP. Patients with benign IDP exhibiting one or more predictive factors might benefit from surgical excision, while patients with asymptomatic benign IDP without these predictive factors can be managed by imaging surveillance.

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 The optimal management of intraductal papillomas (IPs) without atypia diagnosed on needle core biopsy (NCB) is unclear. This study analyzed the malignancy risk of immediately excised IPs and characterized the behavior of IPs under active surveillance (AS). METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the pathology and imaging records of patients diagnosed with IPs without atypia on NCB during a 10-year period (1999-2019). The malignancy upgrade rate was assessed in patients who had an immediate surgical excision, and the rates of both radiographic progression and development of malignancy were assessed in a cohort of patients undergoing AS. RESULTS The inclusion criteria were met in 152 patients with 175 IPs with a mean age of 51 ± 13 years. The average size of the IPs on initial imaging was 8 ± 4 mm. Most of the lesions (57%, n = 99) were immediately excised, whereas 76 (43%) underwent AS with interval imaging with a median follow-up period of 15 months (range, 5-111 months). Among the immediately excised IPs, surgical pathology revealed benign findings in 97% (n = 96) and ductal carcinoma in situ in 3% (n = 3). In the AS cohort, 72% (n = 55) of the IPs remained stable, and 25% (n = 19) resolved or decreased in size. At 2 years, 4% had increased in size on imaging and were subsequently excised, with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS, n = 1) and benign pathology (n = 1) noted on final pathology. CONCLUSIONS In a large series of breast IPs without atypia, no invasive carcinoma was observed after immediate excision, and 96% of the lesions had not progressed on AS. This suggests that patients with IP shown on NCB can safely undergo AS, with surgery reserved for radiographic lesion progression.

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
Background The management of papillary lesions of the breast remains controversial, and thus, we assessed the value of vacuum-assisted excision (VAE)-guided ultrasound in the diagnosis and treatment of breast papillary lesions. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the data of 108 patients with papillary lesions diagnosed using VAE between August 2014 and January 2019. Cases without postoperative breast imaging in the follow-up were excluded, and 85 cases were eligible for the study. The follow-up period ranged from 6 to 53 months, with 38 months on average. All the papillary lesions were located away from the skin or nipple with a size less than or equal to 30 mm, and the lesions categorized as C2-4b were completely excised using VAE. All VAEs were performed using an 8-gauge vacuum-assisted biopsy needle under the guidance of ultrasound using a 10 MHz linear probe. Results Most patients with breast papillary lesions were asymptomatic (56.5%), and when the size of the breast papillary lesion was more than 20 mm on ultrasound imaging, atypical hyperplasia may have been concomitant. Breast lesions might have been pathologically diagnosed as papilloma after biopsy when they were categorized as BI-RADS 4a on ultrasound images. The rate of underestimation was 7.7% in papillary lesions diagnosed with VAE, and the recurrence rate of papilloma after VAE was low. Conclusions Breast papilloma was a common lesion on ultrasonographic screening, and VAE was applicable for completely excising small papillomas, even papillomas with atypical hyperplasia, to obtain an accurate diagnosis with a low rate of underestimation and recurrence. We believe that papilloma diagnosed by VAE might not require immediate excision, and imaging follow-up may be safe for at least 3 years.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to determine the upgrade rate of image-guided core needle biopsy (CNB)-proven benign breast intraductal papillomas (IDPs) without atypia to high-risk benign lesions or malignancy after surgical excision. METHODS A retrospective database search at a single institution identified 102 adult female patients with benign breast IDPs without atypia diagnosed on imaging-guided CNBs who subsequently had surgical excisions between 2011 and 2016. Patient characteristics, imaging features, biopsy techniques, and the pathology reports from imaging-guided CNBs and subsequent surgical excisions were reviewed. The upgrade rate to malignancies or high-risk benign lesions was determined at the patient level. RESULTS The upgrade rate to malignancy was 2.9% (3/102), including two cases of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and one case of microinvasive (< 1 mm) ductal carcinoma arising from DCIS. The upgrade rate to high-risk benign lesions was 7.8% (8/102), with seven cases of atypical ductal hyperplasia and one case of atypical lobular hyperplasia. A personal history of breast cancer and a larger mean lesion size were significantly associated with an upgrade to malignancy (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The management of benign breast IDPs without atypia detected on imaging-guided CNBs is controversial. Our results suggest risk stratification is important in approaching these patients. Although surgical excision should be considered for all benign breast IDPs without atypia, observation with serial imaging may be appropriate in selected low-risk patients. This approach will save many women from surgeries and decrease the cost of medical care.

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.

Patients with benign papilloma diagnosed on core biopsies and concordant pathology-radiology findings can be followed: experiences from multi-specialty high-risk breast lesion conferences in an academic center. Breast Cancer Res Treat 2020; 183:577-584. [PMID: 32705378 DOI: 10.1007/s10549-020-05803-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2020] [Accepted: 07/11/2020] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
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 Papillary breast lesions may be benign, atypical, and malignant lesions. Pathological and clinical differentiation of breast papillomas can be a challenge. Unlike malignant lesions, benign breast papillomas are not classically associated with lymph node and distant metastasis. We report a unique case of a recurrent, benign breast papilloma presenting as an aggressive malignant tumor. CASE PRESENTATION Our patient was a 56-year-old postmenopausal African American woman who was followed in the breast clinic with a long history of multiple breast papillomas. She underwent multiple resections over the course of 7-9 years. After being lost to follow-up for 2 years, she once again presented with a slowly enlarging left breast mass. Subsequent imaging revealed a predominantly cystic mass in the left breast, as well as a suspicious hypermetabolic internal mammary node and a hypermetabolic nodule in the pretracheal space. Biopsy of the internal mammary node demonstrated papillary neoplasm with benign morphology and immunostains positive for estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2/Neu. Due to the clinical picture concerning for malignancy, the patient was then started on endocrine therapy with palbociclib and letrozole before surgery. She then underwent simple mastectomy and sentinel lymph node dissection with negative nodes and pathology once again revealing benign papillary neoplasm. She underwent adjuvant chest wall radiation for 6 weeks and received letrozole following completion of her radiation therapy. She was without evidence of disease 30 months after surgery. CONCLUSIONS We present an unusual case of multiple recurrent peripheral papillomas with entirely benign histologic features exhibiting malignant behavior over a protracted period of many years, with an invasion of pectoralis musculature and possibly internal mammary and mediastinal nodes. Her treatment course included multiple surgeries (ultimately mastectomy), radiation therapy, and endocrine therapy.

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 The management of papillary lesions is controversial with studies showing different rates of upstaging to malignancy. There is a paucity of research into race as an independent risk factor. The aim of this study is to identify if race is correlated with upstaging to malignancy with a secondary focus of analyzing for other personal and tumor specific risk factors for upstaging. METHODS We performed a retrospective review of 123 papillary lesions with univariate analysis to identify risk factors for upstaging. RESULTS The incidence of papillary lesions found on core needle biopsy was 6%. Atypical papillary lesions were most likely to be upstaged to malignancy at a rate of 27.7%. Papillary lesions and papillary lesions with hyperplasia were also upstaged to cancer at a lower rate of 8.3% and 12.5%, respectively. A univariate analysis of all papillary lesions and a separate analysis of atypical lesions demonstrated a higher likelihood of upstage based on BIRADS classification. Race, age, size of tumor and other radiographic features were not associated with an increased risk for upstaging to malignancy. CONCLUSIONS Atypia remains the most significant contributor to the risk of upstaging papillary lesions to malignancy. Our research supports the practice of excising all atypical papillary lesions with selected excision of those without atypia. In our cohort, there was no association between race and risk of upstaging to malignacy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The long-term risk for patients with benign intraductal papillomas (IDPs) on core needle biopsy (CNB) who are not upgraded on excision is not well-defined. The goal of this study was to determine the cumulative breast cancer (BC) incidence for patients with benign IDP on CNB. MATERIALS AND METHODS There were 152 benign IDPs diagnosed on CNB between 2003 and 2008. Radiology and pathology data were reviewed by breast radiologists and pathologists. Clinical follow-up was obtained from the electronic medical record (Epic). RESULTS Excision results were: 96 (63%) not upgraded, 9 (6%) with BC on excision (6 ductal carcinoma in situ, 3 invasive carcinoma), and 5 (3%) lacked correlation with the CNB site. Excision reports were unavailable for 42 (28%). Excluding cases with Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) 5 or discordant imaging, there were 6 (4%) true upgrades (all ductal carcinoma in situ). After the exclusion of patients with other major risk factors, follow-up was available for 55 of 58 patients with benign IDPs, and 8 (14%) developed BC after a median of 112 months (range, 11-159 months). None of the benign IDP patients without an excision report developed BC after a median of 97 months (range, 5-164 months). CONCLUSIONS The upgrade rate for benign IDP diagnosed on CNB was 4%, similar to recent studies. The cumulative BC incidence for those who were not upgraded and who had no history of BC was 14% at a median of 9 years. When combined with patients without an excision pathology report, the overall BC incidence was 9%. The findings support continued breast cancer surveillance in this patient population.

Clin Imaging 2018; 51:180-185. [PMID: 29859481 DOI: 10.1016/j.clinimag.2018.04.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2018] [Revised: 04/12/2018] [Accepted: 04/24/2018] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Non-atypical papillomas (NAPs) diagnosed on core needle biopsy (CNB) frequently undergo surgical excision due to highly variable upstaging rates. The purpose of this study is to document our dual-institution upgrade rates of NAPs diagnosed on core needle biopsy and review the upgrade rates reported in the literature. MATERIALS AND METHODS Following IRB approval, CNB results from Duke University (7/1/2004-6/30/2014) and the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill (1/1/04-6/30/2013) were reviewed to identify non-atypical papillomas. All cases with surgical excision or 2 years of imaging follow up were included. In addition, a literature review identified 60 published studies on upgrades of NAPs diagnosed at CNB. Cases in our cohort and the published literature were reviewed for confounding factors: [1] missing radiologic-pathologic concordance and/or discordance, [2] papillomas included with high-risk lesions, [3] high risk lesions counted as upgrades, [4] review by a nonspecialized breast pathologist, and [5] cancer incidentally detected. RESULTS Of the 388 CNBs in our dual-institution cohort, 136 (35%) patients underwent surgical excision and 252 (65%) patients had imaging follow up. After controlling for confounders, no cancers (0/388) were found at surgical excision or during follow up imaging. The literature review upstaging rate was 4.0% (166/4157) but 1.8% (4/227) after excluding studies with confounders. The combined upstaging rate from the literature and this study was 0.6% (4/615). CONCLUSION The upstaging rate for CNB diagnosed NAPs was 0% in our cohort and 0.6% overall after adjusting for confounders. This low rate does not warrant reflexive surgical excision and diagnostic imaging follow up should be discretionary.

Abstract
Benign and atypical lesions associated with breast cancer risk are often encountered in core needle biopsies (CNBs) of the breast. For these lesions, the rate of "upgrade" to carcinoma in excision specimens varies widely in the literature. Many CNB studies are limited by a lack of radiological-pathological correlation, consistent criteria for excision, and clinical follow-up for patients who forego excision. This article highlights contemporary diagnostic criteria and outcome data that would support an evidence-based approach to the management of these nonmalignant lesions of the breast diagnosed on CNB.

Abstract
PURPOSE The management of benign intraductal papilloma (IDP) without atypia diagnosed on core needle biopsy (CNB) remains controversial. This study was performed to evaluate the rate of upgrading to malignancy or high-risk lesions after excision and to identify factors associated with upgrading using a large series of benign IDP cases without atypia. METHODS We included patients who were diagnosed as having benign IDP without atypia on CNB and underwent surgical or vacuum-assisted excision between 2010 and 2015. We analyzed the clinical, radiologic, and histopathologic features of IDPs that were upgraded to malignancy or high-risk lesions after excision. RESULTS A total of 511 benign IDPs without atypia diagnosed via CNB were identified, of which 398 cases were treated with excision. After reviewing these cases, four cases of high-risk lesions in adjacent tissue on CNB, two cases which were revealed as papilloma with atypia, and nine cases of malignancy in the same breast were excluded. In the remaining 383 cases, the rate of upgrading to malignancy and high-risk lesions after excision was 0.8% and 4.4%, respectively. The presence of concurrent contralateral breast cancer, the presence of symptoms, and multifocality were factors significantly associated with upgrading to malignancy on subsequent excision. Surgical excision rather than vacuum-assisted excision was significantly associated with upgrading to high-risk lesions or malignancy. CONCLUSION The rate of upgrading to malignancy for benign IDP without atypia was very low, suggesting that close clinical and radiologic observation may be sufficient for patients with benign IDP without atypia on CNB under proper settings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Our aim was to compare the pathologic upgrade rates of high-risk breast lesions (HRLs) on digital two-dimensional mammography (DM) vs digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT). STUDY DESIGN The study cohort was composed of patients with HRLs diagnosed by image-guided core needle biopsy from December 2007 to February 2011 (DM group, before DBT integration) and from January 2013 to March 2016 (DBT group, after complete DBT integration). Medical records were reviewed for surgical outcomes and follow-up imaging. RESULTS Eight hundred and ninety-three patients with 900 biopsy-proven HRLs underwent surgical excision (97.0% [873 of 900]) or had at least 2 years of imaging follow-up (3.0% [27 of 900]). The most common HRL was atypical ductal hyperplasia in the DM and DBT groups (37.4% [337 of 900]). The overall upgrade rate of HRLs to malignancy was 11.3% (102 of 900). There were no statistically significant differences in overall upgrades rates of HRLs on DM vs DBT (11.4% [54 of 475] vs 11.3% [48 of 425]; p = 0.97) or in upgrade rates of HRL subtypes. However, HRLs that upgraded on DBT were more likely to be invasive rather than in situ carcinoma compared with HRLs that upgraded on DM (39.6% [19 of 48] vs 20.4% [11 of 54]; p = 0.03). Overall, the most common HRL to upgrade was atypical ductal hyperplasia (18.4% [62 of 337]). The least common HRLs to upgrade in the DBT group were biphasic neoplasms (0% [0 of 22]), flat epithelial atypia (1.6% [1 of 62]), and papillomas without atypia (4.5% [2 of 44]). CONCLUSIONS There is no difference in the upgrade rates of HRLs on DM vs DBT, but the proportion of HRL upgrades that are invasive rather than in situ carcinoma is higher with DBT.

Abstract
The objective of the present study was to evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of mammary duct ectasia (MDE) and breast cancer. This retrospective study was performed on 35 patients with MDE and 105 patients with breast cancer using US and MRI. Imaging features, semi-quantitative and quantitative parameters were analyzed to determine their diagnostic value for MDE and breast cancer. The average age of patients with breast cancer was increased compared with that of patients with MDE. There were no significant differences in local packages with or without tenderness ratio (P=0.259) and grade of color Doppler flow imaging (P=0.273) between the two groups. However, the morphological changes were significantly increased in breast cancer compared with MDE. In addition, there were significant diagnostic differences in US and MRI between breast cancer and MDE, including resistance index, US elastography, time-signal intensity curve, apparent diffusion coefficient, early-stage enhancement ratio, peak-of-enhancement ratio and Tpeak (P<0.05). However, there were no observable significant diagnostic differences between US, MRI and US with MRI for MDE and breast cancer (P=0.103, P=0.263 and P=0.403 respectively). Diagnosis of MDE and breast cancer requires full evaluation of multiple parameters and morphological changes of US and MRI to increase the diagnostic efficiency. US, MRI and US with MRI were all of diagnostic value for MDE and breast cancer, while US with MRI had the highest efficacy.

Abstract
Nipple discharge is a common symptom that is alarming for the patient since it can be a presenting symptom of breast cancer. Breast imaging is used to examine women with pathologic nipple discharge in order to detect any lesions that may be present and to assist in the differential diagnosis. The modalities of breast imaging include mammography, breast ultrasonography (US), and magnetic resonance imaging. Breast US is currently considered to be useful for the visualization of ductal structures and intraductal lesions that cause nipple discharge. In this review, we discuss US techniques that assist in the clear visualization of ductal structures and intraductal lesions in patients with nipple discharge. Controversy remains regarding the evaluation and management of patients with nipple discharge, and we summarize the results available in the currently published literature.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine how to manage clinically and mammographically occult benign papillary lesions diagnosed at ultrasound (US)-guided 14-gauge breast core needle biopsy (CNB) by evaluating their upgrade rates. METHODS From our pathologic database of US-guided 14-gauge breast CNB, 69 benign papillomas and 9 atypical papillomas with available subsequent excisional findings (surgery or vacuum-assisted removal with additional US follow-up for ≥2 years) or US follow-up alone (≥2 years) were included in this study. We analyzed their upgrade rates by using excisional or US follow-up findings, with no change at 2 years as the reference standard. Patient age, lesion size, lesion distance from the nipple, multiplicity, imaging-histologic concordance, and histologic findings were compared between groups with and without upgrades by statistical analysis. RESULTS Surgical excision was performed in 53 (67.9%) of 78 benign papillary lesions and revealed 5 upgrades (11.4%) to atypical papillomas in 44 benign papillomas and 2 upgrades (22.2%) to ductal carcinomas in situ in 9 atypical papillomas. Among 12 benign papillomas (15.4%) with vacuum-assisted removal and US follow-up (≥2 years), 1 (8.3%) was upgraded to atypical papilloma. The remaining 13 benign papillomas (16.7%) were followed with US and were stable after a 2-year follow-up period. There were no significant differences in the variables between the groups. CONCLUSIONS Uniform surgical excision is not a reasonable management strategy for clinically and mammographically occult benign papillary lesions diagnosed at US-guided 14-gauge breast CNB. Clinically and mammographically occult benign papillary lesions may be subsequently managed by vacuum-assisted removal or imaging follow-up if atypia is not found.

Abstract
Papillary lesions of the breast include a broad spectrum of lesions, ranging from benign papilloma, papilloma with atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) or ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) to papillary carcinoma. The accurate diagnosis of mammary papillary lesions is a challenge for pathologists, owing to the overlapping features among these lesions. In this review, some of the diagnostic criteria of papillary lesions are discussed, with special emphasis on some key morphological features, namely fibrovascular cores, epithelial proliferation in a solid pattern, intraductal papilloma complicated by ADH or DCIS, and invasion and its mimics. The roles of immunohistochemistry, and the interpretation of myoepithelial cell markers, hormone receptors, and high molecular weight cytokeratin, are addressed. Finally, novel biomarkers and genetic aberrations in papillary lesions are summarized.

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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The management of intraductal papillomas on core biopsy continues to be controversial. Papillomas with atypia are typically excised. However, it is unclear whether surgical excision is warranted for benign lesions. METHODS A retrospective review of our institution's pathology and radiology databases from January 2009 through May 2014 identified 119 patients with a diagnosis of benign papilloma without atypia on core biopsy. We determined the rate of carcinoma identification on surgical excision. RESULTS The average patient age was 52.8 years (range 24-84 years). Indication for core biopsy included: abnormal imaging (n = 106), nipple discharge (n = 21), or palpable mass (n = 24). Seventy-five patients underwent surgical excision after core biopsy. Sixteen patients (21.3 %) had atypia in the excision specimen (combination atypical ductal hyperplasia, n = 11; atypical lobular hyperplasia, n = 8; lobular carcinoma-in situ, n = 3), 15 (93.8 %) of which were in the surrounding breast tissue. Two patients (2.7 %) had malignancy (ductal carcinoma-in situ and micropapillary carcinoma-in situ). As a result of surgical findings, 12 % of patients had a change in management. In comparing those with benign findings on surgical pathology and those whose disease was upstaged, there was no statistically significant difference in family history of breast cancer, indication for core biopsy, mammographic findings, or location of papilloma. CONCLUSIONS Benign papillomas diagnosed on core biopsy are rarely upstaged to malignancy on surgical excision. However, at least 21 % of patients may have atypical findings in the surrounding tissue, which could change clinical management. Surgical excision should be considered in patients with benign papillomas.

Abstract
Breast lesions classified as of uncertain malignant potential (B3) on biopsy form a diverse group of abnormalities, which pose a diagnostic and management challenge. In this paper, we discuss the imaging and pathology features as well as the management of the most controversial B3 lesions, consisting of papillary lesions, complex sclerosing lesions/radial scars, lobular intraepithelial neoplasia, and atypical epithelial proliferation of ductal type. As there is an association with malignancy at the time of diagnosis, as well as an increase in the risk of subsequent development of cancer, a multidisciplinary discussion is almost always required to tailor treatment.

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.

Non-malignant breast papillary lesions - b3 diagnosed on ultrasound--guided 14-gauge needle core biopsy: analysis of 114 cases from a single institution and review of the literature. Pathol Oncol Res 2015; 21:535-46.

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
PURPOSE To determine the significance of small, often mammographically occult and asymptomatic papillomas of the breast 15 mm and smaller. METHODS Four-year retrospective review of papillomas of the breast in a community-based dedicated breast imaging center, with a selected cohort of 179 papillomas 15 mm or smaller in 147 patients, all completing image-guided core biopsy followed by surgical excision. RESULTS Of 179 papillomas 15 mm or smaller, 36 % were abnormal (24 % atypia; 12 % cancer). Twenty-one percent had a surgical upgrade diagnosis. One hundred forty-six benign papillomas by core biopsy yielded 7 (4.7 %) cancers and 25 (17 %) atypias (atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH), atypical lobular hyperplasia (ALH), or lobular carcinoma-in situ) at surgical excision. Seven of 34 (14 %) of very small papillomas (5 mm or smaller) showed cancer. Twelve of 72 (11 %) and 8 of 36 (13 %) papillomas showed cancer in normal-risk and high-risk patients, respectively. Increasing age (70+ years) associated strongly with increasing risk of papillomas with cancer (10 of 35, 29 %). Thirteen unsuspected papillomas in 10 patients with new nonpapillary breast cancers yielded 3 atypias and 3 additional cancers, changing surgical management in half of these patients. Breast ultrasound identified 44 % of papillomas as incidental findings, all mammographically occult and asymptomatic. CONCLUSIONS There is no size threshold below which a papilloma of the breast can be safely watched or ignored without risking a missed diagnosis of atypia or cancer. Identification of papillomas in patients with new nonpapillary breast cancers can change patient management in up to half of these patients. Finally, breast ultrasound significantly enhances identification of unsuspected papillomas.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this retrospective study was to assess the sonographic features of benign, high-risk, and malignant papillary lesions of the breast. METHODS We conducted a search of our institution's breast biopsy database for all papillary lesions with sonographic findings and final surgical pathologic diagnoses from January 1, 2004, to December 31, 2009. We retrospectively reviewed the breast sonographic findings of 23 benign papillomas, 14 papillomas with associated atypical ductal hyperplasia, and 14 papillary carcinomas, all surgically proven. These 51 lesions in 50 patients comprised our data set. The imaging reports, pathologic records, and surgical records of these patients were reviewed, and statistical analysis was performed. RESULTS The findings for 50 patients (age range, 26-92 years; mean, 55.2 years) with 51 lesions were reviewed. One patient had bilateral breast cancer. Size and margin features showed statistically significant differences (P < .05) between the lesions. Twelve (47.9%) benign papillomas, 10 (71.4%) high-risk lesions, and 13 (92.9%) malignant lesions were larger than 1 cm. Sixteen (69.6%) benign papillomas, 10 (71.4%) high-risk lesions, and only 4 (28.6%) malignant lesions had circumscribed margins. With regard to echo pattern, there was a statistically significant difference between the lesions (P< .01). Twenty (87.0%) benign papillomas, 4 (28.6%) high-risk lesions, and 10 (71.4%) malignant lesions were hypoechoic. Posterior sonographic features were also statistically significant (P < .05), with malignant and high-risk lesions being associated with posterior enhancement or shadowing. Another statistically significant difference (P < .01) was intralesional vascularity, which was seen more frequently with malignant lesions. Regardless of lesion type, the distance from the nipple, shape, orientation, surrounding tissue change, and associated calcifications were not significant. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that sonographic features that may potentially assist in differentiating papillary lesions include size, margin, echo pattern, posterior features, and intralesional vascularity.

Abstract
Diagnostics of high-risk breast lesions have increased these last years with the augmentation of breast percutaneous biopsies. They are lesions that confer an enlarged risk of breast cancer, either because of an increased probability of finding cancer after open surgery, a possible evolution toward in situ or invasive cancer, or because of an increased probability of developing breast cancer over the long term. Much progress has been made these last years in their histological diagnostic, classification and pathogenesis. Nevertheless, no consensus exists to date on the management of these "high-risk" lesions. In particular, surgical indications and follow-up modalities remain controversial for each histological type. In this review, the principal factors that could impact surgical decision and long-term follow-up are discussed with areas of controversy highlighted.

Abstract
The pathological evaluation of radiological or sonographical abnormalities by needle core biopsy of the breast frequently involves the differential diagnosis of benign epithelial cell proliferations. The lesions to be considered include usual type and atypical ductal epithelial cell hyperplasia, columnar cell changes including flat epithelial cell atypia, the spectrum of hyperplastic and atypical apocrine epithelial cell proliferations and papillary lesions. This review provides an overview of the diagnostic criteria, the current terminology and the differential diagnosis of these lesions. The clinical management and the prognosis of the lesions are discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Upgrade rates of high-risk breast lesions after screening mammography were examined. METHODS The Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium registry was used to identify all Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System category 4 assessments followed by needle biopsies with high-risk lesions. Follow-up was performed for all women. RESULTS High-risk lesions were found in 957 needle biopsies, with excision documented in 53%. Most (n = 685) were atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH), 173 were lobular neoplasia, and 99 were papillary lesions. Upgrade to cancer varied with type of lesion (18% in ADH, 10% in lobular neoplasia, and 2% in papillary lesions). In premenopausal women with ADH, upgrade was associated with family history. Cancers associated with ADH were mostly (82%) ductal carcinoma in situ, and those associated with lobular neoplasia were mostly (56%) invasive. During a further 2 years of follow-up, cancer was documented in 1% of women with follow-up surgery and in 3% with no surgery. CONCLUSIONS Despite low rates of surgery, low rates of cancer were documented during follow-up. Benign papillary lesions diagnosed on Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System category 4 mammograms among asymptomatic women do not justify surgical excision.

Non-mass-associated intraductal papillomas: is excision necessary? Hum Pathol 2013; 45:583-8. [PMID: 24444467 DOI: 10.1016/j.humpath.2013.10.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2013] [Revised: 10/22/2013] [Accepted: 10/24/2013] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
Intraductal papillomas (IDPs) of the breast can be associated with a variety of clinical symptoms and radiologic findings. Surgical excision is often recommended based on the possibility of an associated high-grade lesion. Although the rate of upgrades has been extensively evaluated for IDPs, many studies are hindered by broad inclusion criteria, a lack of pathologic-radiologic concordance, and no standard definition of what constitutes an upgrade. In the current study, we evaluate the risk of upgrade for a specific subset of IDPs: non-mass-associated IDPs. We identified all breast needle core biopsies with a diagnosis of IDP between 2003 and 2010. Patients with associated masses, architectural distortion, or ipsilateral breast cancer were excluded. All needle core biopsy slides and relevant imaging studies were reviewed to ensure pathologic-radiologic concordance. Excision pathology was also reviewed; an upgrade was defined as the presence of ductal carcinoma in situ or invasive carcinoma in the excision. Seventy-nine IDPs that met inclusion criteria were identified and were further divided into 3 histologic categories: micropapilloma, fragmented IDP, and atypical IDP. Micropapillomas and fragmented IDPs had no upgrades (0/37). In patients who did not undergo excision, none subsequently developed ipsilateral breast cancer (follow-up, 50-61 months). This is in contrast to atypical IDPs that had a 33% upgrade rate. One patient with an unexcised atypical IDP developed ipsilateral breast cancer within 2 years. Our data suggest that conservative follow-up is reasonable for non-mass-associated IDPs without atypia regardless of microscopic size, provided that careful pathologic-radiologic correlation is achieved.

Benign papillomas without atypia diagnosed on core needle biopsy: experience from a single institution and proposed criteria for excision. Clin Breast Cancer 2013; 13:439-49.

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.
