Calcification retrieval at stereotactic, 11-gauge, directional, vacuum-assisted breast biopsy.

Abstract: Stereotactic, 11-gauge, directional, vacuum-assisted biopsy resulted in successful calcification retrieval in 106 (95%) of 112 cases. Histologic underestimation was infrequent.

“…Lobular neoplasia, which is revealed by microcalcification in at least one-third of cases, is less frequent than ADH in biopsy and surgical series [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. The behaviour of lobular neoplasia (LN) is less well documented than that of ADH.…”

“…Choice of biopsy device depended largely on the preference of the radiologist performing the biopsy, although the preferences of the physician and patient also affected this decision. The vacuum-assisted biopsy device was preferred for lesions where it may have been particularly beneficial [16][17][18], such as calcified lesions, intraductal lesions and solid nodules with irregular margins. Automated gun biopsy was preferred for multifocal and subareolar lesions.…”

“…Technical advances in percutaneous core needle biopsy, such as increasing needle diameter from 14-gauge to 11-gauge and adding a vacuum device, have allowed larger samples of tissue to be obtained (5,6), substantially improving the accuracy of diagnosis. Despite these improvements, the rate of underestimation for ADH has been reported as 10% to 26% for 11-gauge vacuum-assisted biopsy (VAB) (2,14,(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28). In this study, 11-gauge SVAB was associated with a lower rate of underestimation for ADH (20.6%), compared to USguided 14-gauge automated biopsy (41.7%) (P = 0.007).…”
