Radial scars are mammary lesions characterised by a fibroelastotic core and radiating ducts and lobules. They are primarily detected on mammography, often as architectural distortion, with increasing identification due to digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT). Surgical excision has historically been recommended due to variable upstaging rates, but...Read more
