Diagnostic value of ultrasound-guided 14 gauge-core needle biopsy in breast nodules / 中华普通外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the diagnostic value of ultrasound guided 14 gauge coreneedle biopsy (US-CNB) in breast nodules.Methods We retrospectively analyzed the pathological results of US-CNB and surgical excision from 373 breast nodules in Peking University International Hospital from Sep 2016 to Nov 2018 to evaluate the accuracy of 14g US-CNB.Results A total of 349 patients (373 nodules) underwent US-CNB.US-CNB reported 282 benign lesions (75.6％,282/373),20 high-risklesions (5.4％,20/373),and 71 malignant lesions(19.0％,71/373).For 282 CNB reported benign lesions,the surgical pathology confirmed 235 lesions,46 for high-risk lesions and 1 for malignant lesion with a concordancy of 83.3％ (235/282)and the underestimation rate was 16.7％ (47/282).US-CNB identified 20 high-risk lesions.According to surgical results,15 were high-risk lesions and 5 were malignant lesions with a concordancy of 75％ (15/20) and the underestimation rate was 25％ (5/20).When it comes to malignant lesions,the excision results showed that 70 were malignant lesions and 1 was high-risk lesion with a concordancy of 98.6％ (70/71) and the overestimation rate was 1.4％ (1/71).The concordance of the histological type,calculated for 50 invasive carcinomas,was 92％ (46/50) with a kappa value of 0.77.The concordance of the histological grade could be calculated for 38 invasive ductal carcinomas with the Elston-Elllis Method.It was 89.5％ (34/38) with a kappa value of 0.57.Conclusions The pathology result of 14gUS-CNB is in good consistency with surgical excision for breast benign and malignant lesions.
