- Determining if pathology is concordant with image findings - Learning the management of discordant cases

Introduction: The management of suspicious breast lesions is increasingly based on image-guided percutaneous biopsies. It is becoming a key procedure for the diagnosis and is a valuable tool in a preoperative setting (providing prognostic and predictive parameters). The radiologist must identify the lesion, perform the biopsy, determine if pathology is concordant with image findings and learn the management of discordant cases. Teaching points: This pictorial essay describes unusual benign and malignant breast lesions, uncommon radiological (mammography and/or ultrasonography) and pathological findings. It includes numerous malignant lesions: tubular, mucinous, papillary and medullary carcinomas, cystic glandular carcinoma, angiosarcoma, apocrine carcinoma, breast lymphoma, breast fibromatosis, Paget breast disease and Abrikossof tumor. Conclusion: A proper management requires a close collaboration of the radiologist with an interdisciplinary team and an active involvement in correlating pathologic and radiologic findings. Indeed, there is an overlap in imaging between the benign and the malignant lesions and radiologists must be aware of unusual and challenging diagnosis.
