Reducing benign biopsies in screening programs is crucial. This study analyzes mammographic features of benign lesions to minimize false positives and associated costs.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Pathology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Benign biopsies are a significant cost in screening programs.
  • Minimizing false positives is essential for efficient screening.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify mammographic features associated with benign lesions.
  • To correlate mammographic findings with pathological results.
  • To reduce unnecessary benign biopsies in screening.

Main Methods:

  • Review of mammographic features in 108 benign lesions from screening.
  • Correlation of mammographic findings with histopathological results.

Main Results:

  • Common mammographic abnormalities included suspicious calcification (29%), poorly defined mass (21%), and architectural distortion (19%).

  • Histological correlates varied, with fibrocystic change, sclerosing adenosis, and radial scar/CSL being common.
  • Architectural distortion was frequently associated with radial scar/CSL (61%).

    • Conclusions:

    • Understanding these correlations can help reduce benign biopsies.
    • Further refinement of mammographic interpretation may improve specificity.
    • Minimizing benign biopsies enhances screening program efficiency and reduces patient burden.
