Retrospective analysis of core-needle and vacuum-assisted breast biopsies of B3 fibroepithelial lesions and correlation with results in subsequent surgical specimens
Most PT and FEL (B3) diagnoses on CNB/VAB underwent surgical removal. In the final pathological findings of cases classified primarily as FEL (B3), the majority were downgraded to FA, one quarter were upgraded to PT, and a small subset remained as combined FA/PT. In clinical daily practice, we recommend individualized decision-making considering different options (clinical follow-up or removal of the lesion depending on the whole context) in a multidisciplinary preoperative conference.
