Intraductal papillomas are benign lesions but are generally not grade 4c.
Intraductal papillomas are one of the most common breast lesions and are associated with endocrine disorders and elevated estrogen levels. After the onset of the disease, the common symptoms of patients are mainly bloody nipple overflow and mass under the nipple. Intraductal papillomas are benign lesions and are usually graded 3 or 4a on ultrasound.
Although in the category of benign lesions, cancer may develop in a small number of patients with a prolonged history.
During the examination, the lesions are graded as benign or malignant, taking into account the size, morphology and structure of the lesion, the degree of tenderness and the surrounding tissue adhesions. It is generally categorized into 7 grades, with grade 4 being a suspected malignant lesion, and grade 4 is further divided into three sub-grades, a, b and c.
Therefore, in light of the patient’s current situation, it is important to be vigilant and confirm the diagnosis of the lesion through pathologic examination as soon as possible to avoid missing the diagnosis of breast cancer and other malignant lesions. If malignant lesions are diagnosed, regardless of whether the patient has clinical symptoms or not, the lesion should be surgically removed, and then assisted with subsequent treatment in an effort to cure the lesion.
