“…The adequate preoperative localization is of great importance, so the target lesion is successfully removed, with excision of smaller amount of normal breast tissue, following the trend of currently recommended conservative operations. Several methods have been proposed and different techniques, from the "x" marking with single and multiple needles 4,5,7,10 , metallic wire 5,16 , dye injection 1,[17][18][19] , coal suspension 1,3,4,6,11,20 and the use of radioisotopes 21,22 . The mostly used method throughout the world today is the needle / metallic wire location.…”

“…It should be noted that the histological evaluation of lesions and margins is a routine procedure performed by a pathologist during the surgery in order to ensure the quality of the surgical specimen. Testimonies from surgeons prove seeds were within or close to the lesions in all cases, which is not the case with the metallic wire, which may be displaced and even migrate to further areas, hampering the complete removal of the target-lesion [5][6][7][8] . The difficulty in identifying the tip of the wire by palpation during surgery is widely known, which may compromise the safety of the surgical margins and the complete excision of the lesion.…”

“…This is an important factor, since the main objective of any given procedure to locate a lesion is to facilitate a complete surgical excision in a single event, discarding new interventions. Another drawback of the metallic wire is its displacement in the preoperative period or during surgery, with reports of its migration into the pleural cavity 5 , the miocardium 6 , pulmonary hilum 7 , abdominal cavity 8 , in addition to cases of bending and rupture both before and during surgery 9,10 . Surgeons complain that the tip of the metallic wire is difficult to be felt in palpation during the operative event, impairing the complete excision of the lesion with adequate safety margins 11 .…”

“…The second most common finding was carcinoma, discovered in 24 (16%) of the patients, followed by fibro¬ adenoma in 20 patients (13%), and other entities such as lymph nodes or lipomas in eight patients (5%). Of these carcinomas, 18 (75%) were invasive ductal types and one of these was tubular. Six (25%) were noninvasive: five were noninvasive ductal, and one was a noninvasive lobular carcinoma.…”
