BACKGROUND: Traditionally, surgical excision is recommended for benign papillary lesions in core-needle biopsy (CNB) because of their malignant potency. The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with disease upgrading to malignancy in patients with benign papillary lesions in CNB. METHODS: A total of 179 female patients were evaluated retrospectively who were diagnosed as having a benign papillary lesion in CNB and underwent a subsequent surgical excision between January 2007 and December 2016. Ultrasonography-guided CNB was performed using a 14-gauge needle gun method. RESULTS: The rate of upgrade to malignancy was 10.6% (7.6% in papillary lesions without atypia vs. 33.3% in papillary lesions with atypia; P=0.001). The univariable analysis revealed that older age at diagnosis (≥50 years old), menopause, lesion size on ultrasonography, palpability, multifocality, and atypia in CNB were associated with upgrading. The multivariable analysis revealed that age ≥50 years (OR, 4.6; 95% CI, 1.5-14.1; P=0.008), lesion size of ≥2 cm (OR, 6.4; 95% CI, 1.9-21.1; P=0.002), and atypia in CNB (OR, 5.1; 95% CI, 1.5-18.2; P=0.011) were significantly associated with upgrading to malignancy. CONCLUSIONS: Upgrading to malignancy in patients with benign papillary lesions in CNB was associated with age ≥50 years, lesion size ≥2 cm, and atypia in CNB. 2020 Gland Surgery. All rights reserved.
