Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the application of u lt rasound guided Mammotome minimally invasive biopsy system in the diagnosis and t reatment of breast mass. Methods B-ultrasound guided stereotac tic core breast biopsy using the Mammotome system was conducted in 221 breast ma sses of 132 patients. Unilateral solitary masses were found in 79 patients and u nilateral or bilateral multiple masses, in 53 patients. The mass was 0.5~5.2 cm (mean, 1.4 cm) in diameter. Of the 221 masses, 149 were clinically palpable. Results All the lesions were removed by using the Mammotome syste m. The stereotactic excisional biopsy was performed for a mean of 24 times, last ing a mean of 36 min (range, 10~40 min). No failed procedure occurred. All the m asses were pathologically confirmed as benign lesions in 129 patients and invasi ve ductal carcinomas in 3 patients (a modified radical mastectomy was then perfo rmed). Postoperatively, the incision scar was barely visible and no complication s happened except for mild subcutaneous hemorrhage in 10 patients. Conc lusions Use of B-ultrasound guided stereotactic core breast biopsy usin g the Mammotome system for the removal of benign breast lesions is convenient, e ffective, and minimally invasive.
