The prevalence of radial sclerosing lesions (RSLs) has increased with the wider adoption of screening digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), which facilitates the identification of more architectural distortions.
The "Cat's Whiskers" sign plays a crucial role in enhancing the identification of RSLs during targeted ultrasound assessments, thereby streamlining the diagnostic process through ultrasound-guided core biopsy and wire localization prior to surgical intervention.
In our study, ultrasound did not effectively differentiate between pure RSLs, which accounted for 64%, and those associated with premalignant or malignant lesions, comprising 36%.
