Solitary peripheral papilloma of the breast: a radiologic-pathologic correlation of a benign lesion that may mimic breast cancer on mammography.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this study was to describe the mammographic appearance with pathologic correlation of solitary peripheral papillomas of the breast.

CONCLUSION

Solitary peripheral papillomas of the breast are benign lesions that may present mammographic features suggestive of carcinoma. Solitary peripheral papilloma is a variant related to the solitary central duct papilloma but has a different mammographic appearance because of its location and histologic architecture. The associated risk of malignancy is unclear.
