"The currently preferred term for complex breast cysts is complex cystic and solid mass to avoid confusion with a complicated cyst. 9"
"type I, masses with a thick wall (>0.5 mm) or thick septa (>0.5 mm) PPV for malignancy 7.1%"
"type II, masses of an intracystic type with one or more discrete solid mural lesions within a cyst PPV for malignancy 16.7%"
"type III, masses containing mixed cystic and solid components with the cystic portion occupying at least 50% of the mass PPV for malignancy 61.1%"
"type IV, masses that were predominantly (at least 50%) solid with eccentric or central cystic foci PPV for malignancy 44.8%"
"Some authors find that the complex cystic lesions have 23% up to 31% risk of malignancy 4, while others estimate the risk as 0.3% 4. The former consider the complex breast cyst as intermediate BIRADS IVb lesions, while the latter consider them to be BIRADS IVa lesions 4."
