Abstract
We demonstrated that the risk of upgrade after a RS diagnosis depends on the type of biopsy performed, the presence of atypia, the presence of calcifications and the number of fragments obtained. When a standard core biopsy is performed the risk of upgrade and malignancy is not negligible, and surgery is indicated. When the biopsy is vacuum assisted, the risk of upgrade and malignancy is significantly decreased and so the indication for excisional biopsy seems not to be so imperative.
