Purpose When Core Needle Biopsy (CNB) demonstrates Atypical Ductal Hyperplasia (ADH), Flat Epithelial Atypia (FEA), Intraductal Papilloma (IDP), or Radial Scar/Complex Sclerosing Lesion (RS), excisional biopsy (EB) is often performed to rule out underlying malignancy with upstage rates (UR) ranging between 1 and 20%. The COVID-19 pandemic led to delayed EB for many patients. We sought to evaluate whether this delay was associated with higher UR. Methods We performed a retrospective analysis of women who underwent CNB and then EB for ADH, FEA, IDP, or RS between 2017 and 2021 using an IRB-approved repository. UR was evaluated by days between CNB and EB. Results 473 patients met inclusion. 55 were upstaged to cancer (11.6%). 178 patients had pure ADH on CNB and 37 were upstaged (20.8%). 50 patients had pure FEA and 3 were upstaged (6%). 132 had pure IDP and 7 were upstaged (5.3%). 98 had pure RS and 1 was upstaged (1%). 7/15 (46.7%) had a combination of diagnoses or diagnosis with palpable mass and were upstaged. Days between CNB and EB were 120 for 47 (9.9%). There was no significant difference in UR (10.9% for 120, p = 0.54). UR for ADH was clinically increased after 60 days (27.8 vs. 17.5%), but this did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.1). Conclusion Surgical delay was not associated with an increased UR.
