UCSF PAPER:
Solitary dilated duct is a rare mammographic finding, this series being the largest reported to date. Although few cases are studied, solitary dilated duct appears to have a greater than 2% likelihood of malignancy, sufficiently high to suggest that a suspicious (BI-RADS 4a) assessment may be appropriate
Ed... currently this is in the BIRADS lexicon as a benign finding. Our data suggest otherwise, but we await validation in a follow up series
