From: High-risk lesions of the breast: concurrent diagnostic tools and management recommendations
High-risk lesion | Imaging findings |
|---|---|
Lobular Neoplasia (LN) | Amorphous microcalcifications and grouped distribution |
Atypical Intraductal Epithelial Proliferation (AIDEP) | Fine pleomorphic microcalcifications and linear or segmental distribution Irregular-shaped small hypoechoic mass with micro-lobulated edges |
Flat Epithelial Atypia (FEA) | Grouped microcalcifications |
Papillary Lesion (PL) | A solid, round mass with well-defined borders; an intra-cystic mass; or a hypo-echoic, well-defined mass in a dilated duct With internal vascular stalk and with/without microcalcifications |
Phyllodes Tumor (PT) | Ovoid high-density mass lesion with irregular edges and usually lobulated Large size |
Radial Scars (RS) | Radiolucent architectural distortion with or without calcifications |
