  1. Percentages of lesions upgraded from malignant to benign as well as re-operation were calculated in each group separately and comparison was done between different groups
  2. PASH, pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia; UDH, usual ductal hyperplasia; ADH, atypical ductal hyperplasia; DCIS, ductal carcinoma in situ; LCIS, lobular carcinoma in situ
