Abstract: | OBJECTIVE: The purpose of our study was to evaluate how often a mammographic abnormality thought to be produced by the biopsy procedure was evident on the initial follow-up mammogram after percutaneous biopsy of impalpable histologically benign lesions. We compared three stereotactic percutaneous biopsy methods. CONCLUSION: A mammographic density seen well only in the projection parallel to the biopsy needle tract was evident in 2% (5/226) of the lesions for which 11-gauge directional vacuum-assisted biopsy was used, 0% (0/96) of the lesions for which 14-gauge directional vacuum-assisted biopsy was used, and 0% (0/422) of the lesions for which 14-gauge automated large-core biopsy was used. No mammographic abnormalities assessed as BI-RADS categories 3, 4, or 5 (according to the American College of Radiology's Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System) and thought to be produced by the biopsy procedure were evident after any of the biopsy methods. |
