Table 2 presents criteria for uncertain outcome. When outcome was uncertain, multiple imputation was used to classify the mass as benign or malignant at inclusion. In one sensitivity analysis a broader definition of uncertain outcome was used.
Conservative management means that surgery could be performed at any time during follow-up. Unknown management means that no information was available after inclusion scan.
