Due to screening mammography, more nonpalpable mammographic lesions warrant histological evaluation. Stereotactic large-core needle biopsy (SLCNB) has been shown to be as effective in diagnosing these lesions as diagnostic surgical excision, and has become the preferred diagnostic procedure for most mammographic lesions. Since radiologically malignant BI-RADS 5 lesions are almost always carcinoma, some centers advocate prompt diagnostic surgical excision for these lesions instead of SLCNB. For some patients this diagnostic surgical intervention may serve as definitive treatment. We set out to find a subgroup of mammographic BI-RADS 5 lesions for which surgical biopsy might be preferable.
