Radial scars are often excised to exclude malignancy; however, observation following a core biopsy may also be considered.

The physical features of ulegyria consist of small radial scars which occupy the cortical sulci.

Radial scars are diagnosed by a microscopic examination of excised tissue, i.e. they are diagnosed by pathologists based on their histomorphology.

Radial scars are spiculated masses characterized microscopically by a sclerotic appearing (i.e. scar like) center with peripheral entrapped normal breast ducts and lobules.

The microwaves induce electric currents in the metal film, which heats up, melting the plastic in the disc and leaving a visible pattern of concentric and radial scars.

In breast pathology, a radial scar of the breast, formally radial scar of the breast and also known as complex sclerosing lesion of the breast or simply complex sclerosing lesion, is a benign breast lesion that can radiologically mimic malignancy, i.e. cancer.
