Abstract:How to do an ultrasound or computed tomography guided hook-wire localization excisional biopsy of non-palpable lymph nodes Ultrasound (US) guided hook-wire localization (HWL) is often used to aid the surgical excision of non-palpable breast lesions. The technique is rarely described in other scenarios such as excision of abnormal non-palpable lymph nodes (NPLN). Excisional biopsies may be required when fine-needle aspiration (FNA) cytology or core biopsies are non-diagnostic.In this article, we describe the su… Show more
