Sonographically Guided Vacuum-Assisted Breast Biopsy for Complete Excision of Presumed Benign Breast Lesions

摘要

Benign breast disease has a high prevalence and a substantial impact on women's quality of life. Excisional biopsy is still frequently used for the diagnosis of breast masses in China. We report our experience with percutaneous removal of presumed benign lesions under sonographic guidance with a multidirectional handheld vacuum-assisted biopsy device and evaluate this procedure as an alternative approach in the diagnosis and treatment of clinically benign breast lesions.
