Objective To determine the best management option (surgical excision versus imaging surveillance) following the diagnosis of pure radial scars (RSs) and RSs with associated additional high-risk lesions (HRLs) encountered on percutaneous core-needle breast biopsy. Methods An IRB–approved retrospective review of the breast imaging reporting system database was performed to identify all cases of pure RS alone or RS plus an additional HRL (papilloma, atypia, lobular neoplasia) diagnosed on core-needle biopsy, from 2007 to 2016, at four breast centers in our institution. Cases with associated malignancy, discordant radiologic-pathologic results, or those lost to follow-up were excluded. The remaining cases were evaluated to determine results of either subsequent surgical excision or long-term follow-up imaging (minimum of two years). Additional data recorded included clinical presentation, breast density, personal and family history of breast cancer, lesion imaging characteristics, and biopsy method. Results The study cohort included 111 patients with 111 lesions: 56.8% (63/111) with RS alone (pure) and 43.2% (48/111) with RS plus additional HRL(s). Out of the 63 radiologic-pathologic concordant pure RSs, there were no upgrades to malignancy in 51 subsequent surgical excisions or 12 long-term surveillance cases (0/63, 0%). Out of the 48 RSs plus additional HRL(s), there were 2 upgrades to malignancy (2/48, 4.2%). Conclusion Cases of radiologic-pathologic concordant pure RS diagnosed at core-needle biopsy do not require surgical excision. On the other hand, surgical excision should be considered for RS plus additional HRLs diagnosed at core-needle biopsy.
