ABSTRACT
To report the results of breast ultrasonographically-guided fine needle aspirations and needle biopsies within the breast cancer screening program of L'Ariana state in Tunisia. Our retrospective study include 143 patients, with mammographically detected lesions, which underwent a diagnostic percutanous ultrasonographically guided procedures. 57 patients underwent a fine needle aspiration, 25 underwent a needle biopsy and 61 patients underwent both procedures. Sensitivity and specificity of fine needle aspiration are of 84, 2% and 98, 5%. We report 13, 5% of non contributive results. The needle biopsy have a sensitivity of 97, 3% and a specificity of 100% with one false negative corresponding to an atypical ductal hyperplasia at the excisional biopsy. Fine needle aspiration is a reliable method of accurately establishing a diagnosis. Needle biopsy is recommended for a preoperative lesion characterisation before adequate treatment

The dissemined BCG infection is a rare and serious post BCG vaccinal complication, occuring mostly in patients with immunity disorder. We presented two family cases of dessimined BCG infection with an underling chronic septic granulomatosis. Diagnosis of BCG infection was established on imaging features of a multifocal involvement: osteoarticular, visceral, and lymphadenopathy. Actually, CT scan and MRI allow diagnosis extension and etiology of multifocal involve based on puncture and/or biopsy. Usually no bacteriological evidence of Bacillus Calmette Guerin is obtained on culture in 50% of cases
