years (p <0.01), having bloody nipple discharge (p =0.05), and a tumor size of more than 1 cm (p<0.01). Further, irregular shape (p <0.01) and uncircumscribed margin (p <0.01) on mammogram and irregular shape (p =0.04), calcification (p<0.01), and isoechoic pattern (p<0.01) on ultrasonogram were significantly related to malignancy. Conclusion: Our study revealed that particular clinical factors and imaging findings correlated with malignant lesions. However, larger prospective studies are still necessary to establish treatment plans for patients diagnosed with papillary lesions on CNB.
