Previously reported upgrade rates for benign breast intraductal papilloma (IDP) are widely variable. However, many previous studies have failed to consider radiologic-pathologic discordance of lesions. This review aims to synthesize malignant upgrade data for benign, concordant IDP at surgical excision. Thirteen studies were included in our meta-analysis. The pooled estimate for percentage underestimation of carcinoma was 1.4% (95% CI: 0.8%-2.0%). We conclude that these lesions can be safely managed by active surveillance.
