An audit of patients presenting with clinically benign breast disease to the Helen Joseph Hospital Breast Imaging Unit

CONCLUSION: There is a vast spectrum of benign conditions presenting in this population group with only 3.6% confirmed malignancies, confirming an accurate triage system utilised at the breast clinic. Radiological imaging is highly sensitive but less specific, emphasising the triad of clinical, radiological and histological assessment as the gold standard with regard to diagnosis of breast disease.PMID:34515428
