[Mammographic stable lesions and carcinomas]

Stable breast carcinomas at mammography are infrequent and typically correspond to low-grade non-invasive neoplasms. Diagnosis may be delayed by several months to a few years. This time delay to diagnosis may be reduced by using optimal mammographic technique and careful image interpretation. These lesions frequently are misclassified as BIRADS class III lesions. Comparison with prior mammograms is mandatory for accurate diagnosis of these lesions.
