Abstract
High-risk lesions or lesions of uncertain malignant potential are frequent findings on image-guided needle biopsy of the breast and comprise a number of distinct entities. These lesions are known for having risk of underlying malignancy and are usually associated with an increased lifetime risk for breast cancer. Surgical excision was traditionally recommended for all high-risk lesions but recent studies have demonstrated that vacuum-assisted excision or surveillance may be adequate for some lesions. While management of high-risk lesion varies among institutions, this chapter describes the management recommendations based on recent literature of the most frequent types of lesions.
