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.

J Surg Oncol 2024; 129:1025-1033. [PMID: 38305061 DOI: 10.1002/jso.27592] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2023] [Revised: 01/08/2024] [Accepted: 01/11/2024] [Indexed: 02/03/2024]
Abstract
Previously reported upgrade rates for benign breast intraductal papilloma (IDP) are widely variable. However, many previous studies have failed to consider radiologic-pathologic discordance of lesions. This review aims to synthesize malignant upgrade data for benign, concordant IDP at surgical excision. Thirteen studies were included in our meta-analysis. The pooled estimate for percentage underestimation of carcinoma was 1.4% (95% CI: 0.8%-2.0%). We conclude that these lesions can be safely managed by active surveillance.

Abstract
Intraductal papillomas (IDPs), including central papilloma and peripheral papilloma, are common in the female population. Due to the lack of specific clinical manifestations of IDPs, it is easy to misdiagnose or miss diagnose. The difficulty of differential diagnosis using imaging techniques also contributes to these conditions. Histopathology is the gold standard for the diagnosis of IDPs while the possibility of under sample exists in the percutaneous biopsy. There have been some debates about how to treat asymptomatic IDPs without atypia diagnosed on core needle biopsy (CNB), especially when the upgrade rate to carcinoma is considered. This article concludes that further surgery is recommended for IDPs without atypia diagnosed on CNB who have high-risk factors, while appropriate imaging follow-up may be suitable for those without risk factors.

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
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES A solitary dilated duct (SDD) is a single asymmetrically dilated breast duct with diameter more than 2 mm. The Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) fifth edition recommends additional imaging and biopsy for SDDs without demonstrated benign etiology, however management of this rare entity remains controversial. This study describes practice patterns, malignancy rate, and features associated with high-risk/malignant SDDs to better stratify patients requiring biopsy versus follow-up. MATERIALS AND METHODS This IRB-approved retrospective study identified mammographic, sonographic and MRI exams utilizing the term "solitary dilated duct" at a multisite academic institution between 1/1/2010 and 12/31/2020. Clinical and imaging features, BI-RADS assessments, and outcomes were analyzed. Univariate and multivariate analyses identified predictors of high-risk/malignant histology. RESULTS SDDs identified in 49 women (mean age 56.1 years) were assessed as BI-RADS 4/5 (31/49, 63%), BI-RADS 3 (9/49, 18%), or BI-RADS 2 (9/49, 18%). Most sampled lesions were benign (16/31, 52%) and the remaining were high-risk (15/31, 48%, all papillary lesions). The only papilloma with atypia on core biopsy upgraded to grade 2 DCIS on excision (malignancy rate 1/49, 2%). All anechoic SDDs were benign (n=13), and all benign SDDs lacked internal vascularity. SDDs with associated masses were associated with malignant/high-risk outcomes on multivariate analysis (p < .001). CONCLUSION The BI-RADS fifth edition recommends biopsy for SDDs without demonstrated benign etiology. In our 11-year study period, practice patterns were variable with a low malignancy rate of 2%. Our findings suggest that anechoic SDDs may be followed, and SDDs with associated masses or internal vascularity require biopsy.

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
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.

Detailed Morphologic Evaluation of Breast Papillary Lesions on Core Biopsy Is Critical for Accurate Classification and Clinical Management: The Experience of an Academic Institute. Clin Breast Cancer 2021; 22:e552-e557.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Distinguishing between a breast intraductal papilloma and a papillary lesion with atypia or malignancy can be very challenging on core biopsy. There has been a long ongoing debate over whether or not it is necessary for breast papillary lesions diagnosed on core biopsies to be surgically excised, and the upgrading rate after excision varies. METHOD AND/OR RESULT This study was carried out in a subspecialized academic pathology department, with well-formed criteria established among the faculty for the categorization of breast papillary lesions, with emphasis on the morphology evaluation of cellular features. A total of 320 breast core biopsies with follow-up excisions were identified. Of these, 286 cases had concordant results between the biopsy and excision, giving a concordance rate of 89.4%, with 98% concordance (143/146) in benign papilloma, 100% (111/111) in papillary carcinoma, and 51% (32/63) in papilloma with atypia. Of the upgraded cases, two were upgraded from benign to atypical, 11 from atypia to malignancy, and only one from benign to malignant. The overall average upgrading rate was 4.4% (14/320), with the critical upgrading (from benign to atypia or malignancy) rate of 0.94% (3/320). Downgrading was only identified in the group of papilloma with atypia, with 20 of 63 cases downgraded to benign papilloma on excision. CONCLUSION Our study indicates that surgical excision may not be necessary for all papillary lesions after detailed evaluation of the morphology on core biopsies. Assessing the morphological features of the epithelial cells is critical for the accurate classification and clinical management of papillary lesions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to define contemporary management recommendations regarding who would benefit from surgical excision of intraductal papilloma (IDP). METHODS A prospective database from a single institution identified patients with IDP on percutaneous biopsy from February 2015 to September 2020. Categorical patient demographic, biopsy, and pathologic variables were analyzed using Fisher's exact test and continuous demographic and imaging variables using the Mann-Whitney U test. RESULTS IDP was present in 416 biopsies, at a median age of 56 years. The median size was 0.9 cm, and the majority had greater than 50% of the target excised by biopsy. Surgical excision was performed for 124 of 416 biopsies (29.8%). Upgrade to malignancy was identified in 14 (11.3%): 8 to ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and 6 to invasive cancer. Upgrade was significantly associated with concurrent ipsilateral breast cancer (p = 0.027), larger imaging size (p = 0.045), <50% excised with biopsy (p = 0.02), and atypia involving IDP (p = 0.045). Age, clinical presentation, and concurrent contralateral cancer were not significantly associated with upgrade. Lowest upgrade risk (0%) was in pure IDP ≤1 cm with >50% removed by biopsy. Of 401 biopsies that either did not upgrade or undergo excision, 7 (1.7%) developed subsequent breast cancer over a median follow-up of 23.5 months (interquartile range [IQR] 11,41), none at IDP site. CONCLUSIONS After multidisciplinary review, the management of IDP can be stratified into low- and high-risk for upgrade groups using key criteria. Low-risk group may omit surgical excision, because those patients have 0% risk of upgrade over the limited short-term follow-up.

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
Objective This study aimed to find out valuable parameters that predict the nature of breast papillary lesions before excision, and we compared our results with those in the literature. Materials and Methods We reviewed the medical records and pathology slides of patients diagnosed with papillary neoplasm after undergoing a core-needle biopsy between 2010 and 2020, who, subsequently, underwent surgical excision in a single tertiary care institution. The core biopsy results and pathology results of excision materials were compared with the radiological, pathological, and demographic findings. Results A total of 51 patients were included in the study. According to the excision results, the patients were divided into two groups: the atypical group, which included 20 patients (39.3%), and the benign group, which included 31 patients (61.7%). The results of the core biopsy showed that the loss of myoepithelial cell layer was identified in 18 patients in the atypical group, while it was present in all patients in the benign group. Tumor sizes were larger and patient ages were older in the atypical group compared with the benign group. No significant difference was found between atypical and benign groups in terms of breast imaging-reporting and data system (BI-RADS) classification and location (right vs left; central vs peripheral). The upgrade rate was between 0% and 16% in literature, while it was 4% in our study. Conclusion There is no consensus on whether patients diagnosed with papillary neoplasia as a result of core biopsy will undergo excision. According to our results, patients with following criteria should have their lesions excised: those who are advanced in age, those who are diagnosed with a papillary lesion as a result of core biopsies with loss of myoepithelial cell layer, and those who are diagnosed with large-sized lesions without loss of myoepithelial cell layer. Patients diagnosed with small-sized lesions without loss of myoepithelial cell layer and who are young in age are to be followed up without the need for lesion excision. The lesions should be adequately sampled.

Abstract
Breast lesions with uncertain malignant behavior, also known as high-risk or B3 lesions, are composed of a variety of pathologies with differing risks of associated malignancy. While open excision was previously preferred to manage all high-risk lesions, tailored management has been increasingly favored to reduce overtreatment and spare patients from unnecessary anxiety or high healthcare costs associated with surgical excision. The purpose of this work is to provide the reader with an accurate overview focused on the main high-risk lesions of the breast: atypical intraductal epithelial proliferation (atypical ductal hyperplasia), lobular neoplasia (including the subcategories lobular carcinoma in situ and atypical lobular hyperplasia), flat epithelial atypia, radial scar and papillary lesions, and phyllodes tumor. Beyond merely presenting the radiological aspects of these lesions and the recent literature, information about their potential upgrade rates is discussed in order to provide a useful guide for appropriate clinical management while avoiding the risks of unnecessary surgical intervention (overtreatment).

Analysis of 612 Benign Papillomas Diagnosed At Core Biopsy: Rate of Upgrade to Malignancy, Factors Associated with Upgrade, and A Proposal For Selective Surgical Excision. AJR Am J Roentgenol 2021; 217:1299-1311. [PMID: 34008998 DOI: 10.2214/ajr.21.25832] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
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
Intraductal papilloma of the breast is a benign, mass-forming, proliferative lesion with a papillary architecture confined within a duct. Lobular neoplasia can rarely arise from an intraductal papilloma of the breast. In this article, we report the morphologic features of a rare case of classical LCIS (lobular carcinoma in situ) arising from an intraductal papilloma in a 76-year-old woman. The monomorphic dyscohesive cells were present between the myoepithelial and luminal epithelial layer in the periphery of the papilloma. These cells partially obliterated the spaces between the papillae forming solid sheets. The monomorphic dyscohesive cells showed lack of E-cadherin expression and uniform staining for estrogen receptor. We review the histologic differential diagnosis and stress the importance of correct classification to ensure optimal care for patients. We also propose a new criterion for the distinction of lobular neoplasia within a papilloma.

Abstract
Papillary neoplasms of the breast are a heterogeneous group of epithelial tumors nearly entirely composed of papillae. Their classification rests on the characteristics of the epithelium and the presence and distribution of the myoepithelial cells along the papillae and around the tumor. Papillary neoplasms of the breast can be diagnostically challenging, especially if only core needle biopsy (CNB) material is available. This review summarizes salient morphological and immunohistochemical features, clinical presentation, and differential diagnoses of papillary neoplasms of the breast. We include a contemporary appraisal of the upgrade rate to carcinoma (invasive carcinoma and ductal carcinoma in situ [DCIS]) and atypical hyperplasias in surgical excision specimens obtained following CNB diagnosis of papilloma without atypia, and a review of the available follow-up data in cases without immediate surgical excision.

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 Available retrospective data suggest the upgrade rate for intraductal papilloma (IP) without atypia on core biopsy (CB) ranges from 0 to 12%, leading to variation in recommendations. We conducted a prospective multi-institutional trial (TBCRC 034) to determine the upgrade rate to invasive cancer (IC) or ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) at excision for asymptomatic IP without atypia on CB. METHODS Prospectively identified patients with a CB diagnosis of IP who had consented to excision were included. Discordant cases, including BI-RADS > 4, and those with additional lesions requiring excision were excluded. The primary endpoint was upgrade to IC or DCIS by local pathology review with a predefined rule that an upgrade rate of ≤ 3% would not warrant routine excision. Sample size and confidence intervals were based on exact binomial calculations. Secondary endpoints included diagnostic concordance for IP between local and central pathology review and upgrade rates by central pathology review. RESULTS The trial included116 patients (median age 56 years, range 24-82) and the most common imaging abnormality was a mass (n = 91, 78%). Per local review, 2 (1.7%) cases were upgraded to DCIS. In both of these cases central pathology review did not confirm DCIS on excision. Additionally, central pathology review confirmed IP without atypia in core biopsies of 85/116 cases (73%), and both locally upgraded cases were among them. CONCLUSION In this prospective study of 116 IPs without atypia on CB, the upgrade rate was 1.7% by local review, suggesting that routine excision is not indicated for IP without atypia on CB with concordant imaging findings.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the performance of an imaging and biopsy parameters-based multivariate model in decreasing unnecessary surgeries for high-risk breast lesions. METHODS In an IRB-approved study, we retrospectively reviewed all high-risk lesions (HRL) identified at imaging-guided biopsy in our institution between July 1, 2014-July 1, 2017. Lesions were categorized high-risk-I (HR-I = atypical ductal hyperplasia, atypical lobular hyperplasia, lobular carcinoma in situ and atypical papillary lesion) and II (HR-II = Flat epithelial atypia, radial scar, benign papilloma). Patient risk factors, lesion features, detection and biopsy modality, excision and cancer upgrade rates were collected. Reference standard for upgrade was either excision or at least 2-year imaging follow-up. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to develop a multivariate model using HRL type, lesion and biopsy needle size for surgical cancer upgrade with performance assessed using ROC analysis. RESULTS Of 699 HRL in 652 patients, 525(75%) had reference standard available, and 48/525(9.1%) showed cancer at surgical excision. Excision (84.5% vs 51.1%) and upgrade (17.6%vs1.8%) rates were higher in HR-I compared to HR-II (p < 0.01). In HR-I, small needle size < 12G vs ≥ 12G [32.1% vs 13.2%, p < 0.01] and less cores [< 6 vs ≥ 6, 28.6%vs13.7%, p = 0.01] were significantly associated with higher cancer upgrades. Our multivariate model had an AUC = 0.87, saving 28.1% of benign surgeries with 100% sensitivity, based on HRL subtype, lesion size(mm, continuous), needle size (< 12G vs ≥ 12G) and biopsy modality (US vs MRI vs stereotactic) CONCLUSION: Our multivariate model using lesion size, needle size and patient age had a high diagnostic performance in decreasing unnecessary surgeries and shows promise as a decision support tool.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the surgical upgrade rate to malignancy and high-risk lesions in cases of papilloma without atypia diagnosed with imaging-guided percutaneous core needle biopsy (CNB) and to determine whether any lesion imaging features, biopsy techniques, and pathological factors can predict lesion upgrade to help guide clinical management. MATERIALS AND METHODS Benign papillomas without atypia (n = 399) diagnosed with CNB were retrospectively reviewed. The surgical upgrade rate to malignancy or high-risk lesion (atypical ductal hyperplasia, atypical lobular hyperplasia, lobular carcinoma in-situ, flat epithelial atypia and atypical papilloma) was determined. Detection modality (i.e. mammography, ultrasonography (US), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)), lesion type and size, biopsy-guidance modality (US, stereotactic, MRI), biopsy needle size (<14 G vs ≥14 G), use of vacuum assistance, and presenting symptoms were statistically analyzed. The reference standard for evaluation of upgrade was either excision or at least 24 months of imaging follow-up. Chi Square test and Fisher exact tests were performed for categorical variables, and the Mann-Whitney-U test was used for continuous variables. RESULTS Ultrasound was the predominant biopsy modality (78.4 %, p < 0.001). Of the 399 benign papilloma lesions in 329 women, 239 (59.9 %) were excised and 93 others were followed for at least 24 months (total of 332). Of these 332 lesions, 7 (2.1 %) were upgraded to ductal carcinoma in-situ and 41 (12.3 %) to high-risk lesions at excision. Larger lesion size (≥15 mm, p = 0.009), smaller biopsy needle size (≥14 G, p = 0.027), and use of spring-loaded biopsy device (p = 0.012) were significantly associated with upgrade to atypia. Only lesion size (≥15 mm, p = 0.02) was associated with upgrade to cancer. CONCLUSION Upgrade to malignancy of biopsy-proven benign papillomas without atypia at the time of surgery was sufficiently low (2.1 %) to support non-operative management. Surgery may be performed for selected cases- those with larger lesion size and those whose biopsies were performed with smaller spring-loaded biopsy needles.

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 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
Core needle biopsy (CNB) is the most common sampling technique for the histologic evaluation of breast abnormalities. Diagnosing benign proliferative, borderline and some in-situ lesions in CNB is challenging and subject to a significant degree of interobserver variability. In addition, due to the inherent limitations of CNB, "upgrading" to a more significant pathology at excision is an important consideration for some lesions. Pathologists carry a major responsibility in patient diagnosis, risk stratification and management. Familiarity with the histologic features and the clinical significance of these common and problematic lesions encountered in CNB is necessary for adequate treatment and patient follow-up. This review will focus on benign, atypical and in-situ epithelial proliferations, papillary lesions, radial sclerosing lesions, adenosis and cellular fibroepithelial lesions. Highlights of histologic features, useful strategies for accurate diagnosis, basic immunohistochemistry and management will be presented.

Abstract
Evaluation of radiologically detected breast lesions is a common task in surgical pathology. Some benign lesions on biopsy are associated with an upgrade to in situ or invasive carcinoma on excision. The non-atypical breast papilloma has published upgrade rates of 0 to 29%. Traditionally, papillomas have been managed surgically, but the wide range of upgrade rates has raised uncertainty about the need for routine surgical excision. This study aims to identify risk factors associated with upgrade and determine the upgrade rate of non-atypical papillomas at our institution. In a retrospective review of pathology reports, we identified 266 patients with a diagnosis of benign papilloma on breast core biopsy. One hundred eighty-two patients underwent surgical resection. The final surgical pathology reports of all patients were reviewed and divided into one of two groups-benign or malignant. Twenty-one patients had a final diagnosis of in situ or invasive carcinoma, resulting in an upgrade rate of 12%. Radiologically detected lesions with calcifications were at higher risk for upgrade (OR = 4.45, 95% CI 1.08-18.27) than lesions without calcifications. Additionally, advanced patient age (OR = 1.07, 95% CI 1.03-1.13) and lesion size greater than 0.5 cm (OR = 2.59, 95% CI 0.38-17.48) was associated with upgrade to malignancy. Routine surgical excision of all papillomas is not recommended. Younger patients without high-risk features may benefit from clinical and radiologic follow-up alone. Accurate risk stratification will spare low-risk women unnecessary surgery.

Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES There is lack of consensus on managing papillomas due to varied upgrade rates in the literature related to variability in the studied populations. We specifically studied upgrade rates of pure papilloma diagnosed with ultrasound core biopsy (UCB) using spring-loaded (SLB) and vacuum-assisted (VAB) biopsy devices in patients with low-to-intermediate pre-test probability for malignancy on imaging. MATERIALS & METHODS From 01/01/2008 to 06/30/2016, 227 patients with 248 pure papillomas classified as BI-RADS 3, 4a, and 4b were diagnosed by UCB and underwent surgical excision or clinical and/or imaging follow-up. Imaging features, biopsy device, and final pathology were documented. RESULTS 177 lesions were biopsied with SLB (14-gauge) and 71 lesions with VAB (9-13 gauges). At surgery, upgrade rates to high-risk lesions and malignancy for SLB were 14.3% (22/154) and 1.9% (3/154), and for VAB were 3.5% (2/57) and 0% (0/57), respectively (p < 0.05). The combined surgical upgrade rate to high-risk lesions and malignancy was 11.4% (24/211) and 1.4% (3/211), respectively. The overall upgrade rate (including surgical and clinical and/or imaging follow-up) to high-risk lesions and malignancy was 9.7% (24/248) and 1.2% (3/248), respectively. No ultrasound features were predictive of upgrade. Rates of complete excision were 7.1% (11/154) for SLB and 19.3% (11/57) for VAB (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION BI-RADS 3, 4a, or 4b masses biopsied with UCB revealed pure papilloma upgrade to malignancy in less than 2% of cases. SLB was associated with greater upgrades compared with VAB. Therefore, follow-up imaging is a reasonable alternative to excision, particular in those sampled by VAB. Excision could be considered if the diagnosis of a high-risk lesion would change clinical management.

Abstract
The histologic distinction between papillary breast lesions remains challenging, especially with core biopsy (CB) specimens. A retrospective review of the clinical, imaging, and histologic findings was performed for patients with papillary breast lesions on CB from 2013 to 2017. The interpretation accuracy was expressed as upgrade rate relative to the excision diagnosis. Diagnostic reproducibility with and without immunohistochemistry was analyzed as interobserver variability among 3 board-certified pathologists. Among 57 papillary lesions with biopsies and excisions available for review, the upgrade rates were 0% for benign papilloma, 30% for papilloma with atypical ductal hyperplasia, and 25% for papilloma with ductal carcinoma in situ, resulting in an overall upgrade rate of 11.1%. There were no statistical differences between patients in an upgrade group and others, when comparing the patient age, clinical presentation, BI-RADS (Breast Imaging Reporting and Database System) category, location, and histologic grade. The overall interobserver variability of the 60 consecutive core biopsies of papillary breast lesions by morphology alone was in the "substantial" agreement range (κ = 0.79, 86% agreement), with an excellent κ score of 0.88 for papilloma (92% agreement). "Substantial" and "fair" κ values were seen for papilloma with atypical ductal hyperplasia/ductal carcinoma in situ (0.74, 84% agreement) and invasive carcinoma (0.40, 60% agreement). Use of immunohistochemical stains improved the κ values into "excellent" range (0.92, 94% agreement). Our study favors a conservative approach in the management of benign papillomas, at least in cases of good radiologic-pathologic concordance. Papillary breast lesions with atypia/malignancy show lower diagnostic reproducibility on CB, and utility of immunohistochemistry is recommended in challenging cases.

Abstract
There is an enduring dilemma on the appropriate management of high-risk breast lesions; is surgical excision always warranted or can conservative management be utilized? We present cases of high-risk breast lesions diagnosed at core needle biopsy at our institution along with relevant factors to consider for appropriate management. We conclude that a nuanced approach is warranted over the broad stroke approach of surgical excision of all high-risk breast lesions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The management of intraductal papillomas (IDPs) diagnosed on core needle biopsy (CNB) remains controversial regarding whether excision is required. We evaluated whether excision of IDPs might be overtreatment based on a consecutive patient population where all IDPs were routinely excised. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the records of consecutive patients treated with excision of IDPs at our institution from 2009 to 2016. We evaluated the rate of upgrade of IDPs on CNB and factors predicting for malignant upgrade. RESULTS Of 153 CNB specimens, 136 (88.9%) were IDPs without atypia and 14 (9.2%) showed atypia. The overall upgrade rate on final pathology was 7.3% with 1.3% for invasive cancer, 2.7% for ductal carcinoma in situ, and 3.3% for atypical ductal hyperplasia. Of the 14 patients with atypia on CNB, two of these patients (14.2%) were found to have ductal carcinoma in situ. In the absence of atypia on CNB, upgrade rates were 1.5% for invasive and 1.5% for in situ carcinoma. Personal history of breast cancer and magnetic resonance imaging-guided biopsy predicted for malignant upgrade. CONCLUSIONS IDPs on CNB have a low chance of harboring an occult malignancy. Given the low probability of upgrade to invasive breast cancer, it is reasonable to consider watchful surveillance in the absence of a prior personal history of breast cancer or atypia on CNB.

Abstract
The clinical decision to excise intraductal papilloma (IDP) without atypia diagnosed on biopsy remains controversial. We sought to establish clinical and histologic predictors (if any) which may predict upgrade in IDP. 296 biopsies (in 278 women) with histologic diagnosis of IDP without atypia were retrospectively identified and placed into Incidental (no corresponding imaging correlate), or Non-incidental (positive imaging correlate) groups. 253/296 (85.5%) cases were non-incidental, and 43/296 (14.5%) were incidental. 73.1% (185/253) non-incidental and 48.8% (21/43) incidental cases underwent excision. 12.4% (23/185) non-incidental cases underwent an upgrade to cancer or high-risk lesion; namely 8-Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), 8-atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH), 6-lobular neoplasia, and 1-flat epithelial atypia. There was no histopathologic feature on the biopsy in the non-incidental group which predicted upgrade; however a past history of atypia was significantly associated with upgrade. 2 of the 21 incidental cases upgraded (1 to ADH and 1 to lobular neoplasia); the former had a past history of ADH. Both incidental upgrades were >1 mm in size, and were not completely excised on the biopsy. None of the incidental cases which appeared completely excised on biopsy upgraded, irrespective of the size on biopsy. These findings suggest that all non-incidental IDPs should be considered candidates for surgical excision, given the 12.4% upgrade rate and no definitive histologic predictors of upgrade. Patients with incidental IDPs (if <1 mm, completely excised on biopsy and with no history of high risk breast lesion) can be spared excision.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The aim of this review is to summarize recently published literature addressing atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH), lobular neoplasia (atypical lobular hyperplasia [ALH] and classic lobular carcinoma in situ [C-LCIS]), non-classic lobular carcinoma in situ (NC-LCIS), papillary lesions, and flat epithelial atypia (FEA). RECENT FINDINGS While ADH, ALN, and C-LCIS are well-established markers of an increased risk of future breast cancers, the risk implications are less clear for papillary lesions and FEA. NC-LCIS is the least well-characterized lesion, with scant published literature on its natural history and surgical management when encountered on needle biopsy. Recent data suggest that lobular neoplasia on core biopsy of a BI-RADS ≤ 4 concordant lesion does not require an excision, while ADH, atypical papillomas, and NC-LCIS should be excised. Evidence on FEA and papillomas without atypia suggests a low risk of upgrade on excision, and prospective studies on the upgrade of these lesions are ongoing.

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 The management of benign intraductal papilloma diagnosed on core needle biopsy (CNB) remains unclear. This study was designed to evaluate factors predicting malignancy in patients diagnosed with benign papilloma without atypia at ultrasound-guided CNB and to develop a scoring system predicting malignancy based on clinical, radiological and pathological factors on further excisional biopsy. METHODS The study enrolled patients diagnosed with benign papillomas (including benign and atypical papillary lesions) at CNB. Multivariate analysis was used to identify relevant clinical, radiological and pathological factors that may predict malignancy. RESULTS A total of 520 CNBs were diagnosed with benign or atypical papilloma. Of these, 452 were benign papilloma without atypia. Of the 250 lesions subsequently excised surgically from 234 women, 17 (6.8%) were diagnosed with malignancy. Multivariate analysis revealed that bloody nipple discharge, size on imaging ≥15 mm, BI-RADS≥4b, peripheral location and palpability were independent predictors of malignancy. A scoring system was developed based on logistic regression models and beta coefficients for each variable. The area under the ROC curve was 0.947 (95% CI: 0.913-0.981, p < 0.001) and a negative predictive value was 100%. In a validation set of 62 patients, an area under the ROC curve was 0.926 (95% CI: 0.857-0.995, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS A scoring system predicting malignancy in patients diagnosed by CNB with benign papilloma without atypia was developed. This system was able to identify a subset of patients with lesions likely to be benign, indicating that imaging follow-up rather than surgical excision may be appropriate.
