ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical feasibility and advantages of ultrasound guided mammo-tome biopsy for micro-calcifications visible in mammography. Methods A total of 12 patients with mammogra-phy-revealed micro-calcifications examined by ultrasound guided vacuum-assisted biopsy in our hospital from Jun. 2017 to Dec. 2018 were enrolled in this study and their medical records data were analyzed. Results All 12 patients had accepted pre-biopsy ultrasound localization and all micro-calcifications were successfully excised. A-mong 12 cases, 4 were revealed as benign breast diseases and 8 were diagnosed as breast cancer. Conclusions Ul-trasound guided mammotome biopsy is found to be an alternative method to stereotactic biopsy in patients with US-detectable micro-calcifications, and re-scan ultrasonography focusing on the specific microcalcification area may be helpful for improving the ultrasound detection rate of micro-calcifications.
