Vacuum assisted breast biopsy (VAB) excision of subcentimeter microcalcifications as an alternative to open biopsy for atypical ductal hyperplasia.
CONCLUSION: These results could justify the conservative management, in a selected group of patients, being the malignancy rate lower than 2%, considered in the literature as the "probably benign" definition. Advances in knowledge: Increasing the length of follow-up of selected patients conservatively managed can improve the management of ADH cases.
