Complex sclerosing lesion (abbreviated CSL), also radial scar, is a benign lesion of the breast that is associated with an increased risk of subsequent breast cancer.
General
- The term radial scar is a misnomer. It isn't a scar. It isn't associated with prior trauma or surgery.[1]
- May appear malignant on imaging.[2]
- Associated with subsequent elevated risk of breast cancer.[3]
- Management - usu. surgical excision.[4]
Gross
- Spiculated mass.
- Usually small - 3-7 mm.
Image
Radial scar - gross. (WC)
Microscopic
- Stellate appearance (low magnification).
- Center of lesion has "fibroelastosis" - stroma light pink (on H&E) - key feature.
- Scar like stroma with entrapped normal breast ducts and lobules.
- Glands appear to enlarge with distance from center of lesion.
Notes:
- Histomorphologic appearance may mimic a desmoplastic reaction of the stroma - leading to a misdiagnosis of malignancy.
- "Hyaline - pink stuff on H&E - is the key."
DDx:
- Invasive ductal carcinoma - should be considered if the lesion is asymmetrical or glands are dilated centrally.
