A retrospective study evaluating outcomes of surgical excision versus radiologic follow-up of benign breast papillomas without atypia.

Background: There is uncertainty whether benign breast papillomas without atypia (BP) can be followed by imaging or require surgical resection.

Methods: A single-center, retrospective cohort study of patients diagnosed with BP (2011-2021) to determine the upgrade rate on surgery, and factors associated with surgical intervention and upgrade.

Results: 139 BPs were included.
