RAD-PATH correlation in breast - Lessons learned through unusual cases and MDT discussions.

Abstract

Imaging and pathological evaluation are indispensable for the evaluation of breast pathologies. It is imperative to achieve clinical, radiological, and pathological concordance before initiation of any treatment regimen. Although image-guided biopsies are usually obtained from the most suspicious area of the lesion, we often encounter discordant lesions. This rad-path discordance needs to be addressed in multidisciplinary team meetings to review the clinical, imaging, and pathology findings together to ascertain the next step of evaluation. In this article, we aim to highlight a variety of such results which needed reassessment and provided us with a learning opportunity to deepen our understanding of various breast diseases.
