73 Vacuum Assisted Core Needle Biopsy May Be Helpful Intraductal Papilloma

74 Benign Lesions Distinction between benign and malignant NOT always clear Identify pathognomonic benign features Be alert for potentially malignant features Remember that no modality exists in a vacuum Correlate with other modalities, i.e., mammography for fat-containing lesions Correlate with clinical history, i.e., hematoma and abscess Further data needed on large/growing fibroadenomas and papilloma management
