Management Recommendations

Radial scars are benign lesions of the breast characterized pathologically by a fibroelastic core containing entrapped ducts and lobules that radiate outwards in a stellate pattern. This chapter, highlighting radial scar as a cause of architectural distortion, reviews its imaging features and differential diagnosis on mammography, digital breast tomosynthesis, ultrasound, and MRI; its diagnostic workup using multiple modalities; and its histological confirmation with image-guided core needle biopsy. The particular challenge of radial scar presenting as architectural distortion seen only with tomosynthesis is discussed, along with an algorithm for imaging evaluation and biopsy guidance in this setting. As radial scar, which is histologically related to complex sclerosing lesion and radial sclerosing lesion, is considered a high-risk lesion, management recommendations are also reviewed.
