Abstract

Breast sonography is required with mammogram to explore clinical breast mass (grade B), colored unipore breast nipple discharge (grade C), or mastitis (grade C). Bi-RADS system is recommended to describe and classify breast-imaging abnormalities. For breast abscess, a percutaneous biopsy is recommended in case of mass or persistent symptoms (grade C). For mastodynia, when breast imaging is normal, no MRI neither breast biopsy is recommended (grade C). Percutaneous biopsy is recommended for BI-RADS 4-5 mass (grade B). For persistent erythematous breast nipple or atypical eczema lesion, a nipple biopsy is recommended (grade C). For distortion and asymmetry, a vacuum core needle biopsy is recommended because of the risk of underestimation by simple core needle biopsy (grade C). For BI-RADS 4-5 microcalcifications without ultrasound signal, a vacuum core needle biopsy of at least 11 gauges is recommended (grade B); in the absence of microcalcifications on radiograph carrots, additional samples are recommended (grade B). For atypical ductal hyperplasia, atypical lobular hyperplasia, lobular carcinoma in situ, flat epithelial with atypia, radial scar, mucocele with atypia, surgical excision is commonly recommended (grade C). Expectant management is feasible after multidisciplinary concertation. For these lesions, when excision is not in sano, no new excision is recommended except for pleomorphic or with necrosis CLIS (grade C). For grade 1 phyllode tumour, in sano surgical resection is recommended; for grade 2 phyllode, 10-mm margins are recommended (grade C). For breast papillary without atypia, complete disappearance of the radiologic signal is recommended (grade C). For breast papillary with atypia, complete surgical excision is recommended (grade C).
