“…However, a study of rates of local recurrence in breast cancer demonstrated no increase among patients who underwent a core needle biopsy [20]. In sarcomas, it has been known that open biopsy incisions and tracts should be resected.…”

Background Core needle biopsies of sarcomas allow a diagnosis in a high percentage of patients with few complications. However, it is unclear whether the tract needs to be excised to prevent recurrences. Questions/purposes We therefore determined the rates of recurrence and metastases in patients with Stage III extremity sarcomas, who underwent wide local resection without excision of the needle tract and also received adjuvant treatment.

“…Another study with 398 patients supported this hypothesis [94]. In a retrospective analysis at our institution, the use of preoperative core needle biopsy did not increase the local recurrence rate [97]. Thus, displaced tumor cells seem to play no critical role for local recurrence after BCT and adjuvant radiotherapy.…”

“…Fitzal et al 12 evaluated overall survival data and the incidence of local recurrence was not higher in patients who had undergone preoperative core needle biopsies. In summary, we presented a case of breast cancer cutaneous metastasis at the core needle biopsy site thought to be due to needle tract seeding.…”

Breast Cancer Cutaneous Metastasis at Core Needle Biopsy Site

et al. 2010

Cutaneous metastasis from breast cancer can occur by direct invasion, lymphatic and vascular spread as well as iatrogenic implantation. Metastasis that occurs by iatrogenic implantation after needle biopsy is very rare but the potential risk must be considered. In this report, we describe a case of breast cancer cutaneous metastasis that occurred by iatrogenic implantation following core needle biopsy. A 53-year-old woman presented with a 1×1 cm sized erythematous nodule at the biopsy site after breast conserving surgery for primary cancer. Histopathological findings confirmed cutaneous metastasis. The possibility of this consequence must be considered when performing needle biopsies.
