Article Title: Atypical ductal hyperplasia bordering on DCIS on core biopsy is associated with higher risk of upgrade than conventional atypical ductal hyperplasia
Abstract: Purpose: Upgrade rates of conventional ADH are reported at 10–30%; however, rates for ADH bordering on DCIS (ADH-BD) are largely unknown. We examined the upgrade rate of ADH-BD and core needle biopsy (CNB) features associated with upgrade. Surgical management in patients with concurrent ipsilateral breast cancer (BC) was also examined. Methods: From 2000 to 2018, women with CNB diagnosis of ADH-BD were prospectively identified. Women with pure ADH-BD and concurrent ipsilateral ADH-BD/BC were analyzed separately, and upgrade rates were calculated. CNB features associated with upgrade and type of surgery were examined in women with pure ADH-BD; CNB features and concurrent pathology associated with upgrade were examined in women with ipsilateral BC. Results: 108/236 (46%) patients with pure ADH-BD on CNB had DCIS (40%) or invasive carcinoma (6%) on surgical excision. DCIS or invasive carcinoma was more frequently found on excision of a mass that yielded ADH-BD on biopsy than excision of calcifications (65% vs 38%; p < 0.001). The breast conservation success rate was high (80%) in patients who upgraded, despite a high re-excision rate of 46%. The upgrade rate of ADH-BD in women with concurrent ipsilateral BC was 41%. Most women (94%) with ADH-BD in the same quadrant as the BC were candidates for breast conserving surgery, with a success rate of 89%. Conclusion: The upgrade rate for pure ADH-BD is significantly higher than that reported for women with conventional ADH, especially in women with a mass on imaging. The upgrade rate of concurrent ipsilateral ADH-BD and BC is similarly high. Excision with a margin of normal tissue and specimen inking should be routine to minimize the need for re-excision. © 2020, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.
