Benign papillomas diagnosed on large-gauge vacuum-assisted core needle biopsy which span <1.5 cm do not need surgical excision.

The objective of our study is to determine if a carefully selected subset of benign breast papillomas (size ≤1.5 cm) can be safely followed by imaging surveillance instead of immediate surgical excision. Over a 6½-year period, 86 breast lesions were diagnosed as a benign papilloma (BP) utilizing an 11- or 8-gauge vacuum-assisted core needle biopsy (VACNB) device.

Serial MR findings and comprehensive review of bilateral lupus mastitis with an additional case report.

Lupus Mastitis (LM) is a rare presentation of lupus panniculitis involving the breast. Because it often presents as a tender palpable mass, a workup for malignancy usually ensues. It is well documented that surgery may worsen the condition; therefore, it is important to consider LM in the differential of a palpable breast mass in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
