 '''Radial scar''' is a benign [[lesion]] or growth that often appears as a scar-like area on a mammogram. It is also known as a ''complex sclerosing lesion''.
+== Introduction ==
 Radial scars are not true [[scar]]s, but they look like scars when viewed under a microscope. They do not usually cause symptoms or need treatment, but they can look like [[breast cancer]] on a mammogram or during a [[biopsy]], which can cause concern until tests confirm that they are benign.
 == Causes ==
 The exact cause of radial scars is not known, but they are more common in women who are middle-aged or older. They are not related to breast cancer, but women with radial scars seem to have a slightly higher risk of developing breast cancer than women without them.
 == Diagnosis ==
 Radial scars are usually found during a routine mammogram. They can look like breast cancer on a mammogram, which can cause concern until further tests are done. If a radial scar is suspected, a biopsy may be done to confirm the diagnosis.
 == Treatment ==
 Most radial scars do not need treatment. However, because they can look like breast cancer on a mammogram, they are often removed to make sure they are not cancer. If a radial scar is large or if there are many radial scars, a surgeon may recommend surgery to remove them.

'''Radial scar''' is a benign [[lesion]] or growth that often appears as a scar-like area on a mammogram. It is also known as a ''complex sclerosing lesion''.

== Overview ==

Radial scars are not true [[scar]]s, but they look like scars when viewed under a microscope. They do not usually cause symptoms or need treatment, but they can look like [[breast cancer]] on a mammogram or during a [[biopsy]], which can cause concern until tests confirm that they are benign.

== Causes ==

The exact cause of radial scars is not known, but they are more common in women who are middle-aged or older. They are not related to breast cancer, but women with radial scars seem to have a slightly higher risk of developing breast cancer than women without them.

== Diagnosis ==

Radial scars are usually found during a routine mammogram. They can look like breast cancer on a mammogram, which can cause concern until further tests are done. If a radial scar is suspected, a biopsy may be done to confirm the diagnosis.

== Treatment ==

Most radial scars do not need treatment. However, because they can look like breast cancer on a mammogram, they are often removed to make sure they are not cancer. If a radial scar is large or if there are many radial scars, a surgeon may recommend surgery to remove them.
