The purpose of the study was to evaluate the outcome of initially only magnetic resonance mammography (MRM)-detected breast lesions as a function of radiologic features, history of breast cancer and lesion size.
Radiologic features, history of breast cancer and large diameter are associated with high likelihood of malignancy in case of initially only MRM-detected lesions. Nevertheless, biopsy might be spared just for MRI BI-RADS 3 lesions in patients without history of breast carcinoma.
