Ultrasound Guided Therapeutic Excisional Vacuum Assisted Biopsy in Fibroadenoma (BIRAD3 Lesions)
Journal Title: The Egyptian Journal of Hospital Medicine - Year 2018, Vol 72, Issue 2
Abstract
<span>Background: </span><span>Our study showed that ultrasound-guided, vacuum-assisted excision can play an efficient role in the diagnosis of benign breast lesions and is a safe and successful alternative treatment of fibroadenomas. Although the breast fibroadenoma is a common benign breast tumor, the treatment and follow-up of these lesions is still debatable. We suggest that UGVAB, which has a well-documented role in the diagnosis of breast lesions, may provide an option for the definitive treatment of breast fibroadenomas.<br /> </span><span>Objective: </span><span>The objective of our work was to evaluate ultrasound-guided, vacuum-assisted excision (UGVAE) as an alternative approach in the diagnosis of radiologically benign breast lesions.<br /> </span><span>Patients and Methods: </span><span>We prospectively evaluated breast lesions excised using VAB between April -October 2017 at Ain-Shams University /interventionl radiology unit at radiology department, which had a proven diagnosis of fibroadenoma. An informed consent form was obtained from each patient of a total of 25 cases ultrasound-guided VABB using biopsy system. All patients have been subjected to breast ultrasound examination.<br /> </span><span>Results: </span><span>Thirteen patients developed hematomas during UGVAE but none needed surgical intervention, while twelve patients pass with no significant hematomas, with 100% cure rate. None of the patients experienced significant enough pain to require the cessation of the procedure, although 22 (88%) patients reported mild pain and moderate pain (12%) during procedure. At the two week control, 3(12%) patients reported taking paracetamol for mild pain. In ten of them (40%) the pain was strong enough to interfere with sleep. </span><span>Conclusion: </span><span>Vacuum assisted Ultrasound-guided biopsy allows real-time imaging, could be performed without breast compression, and is the preferred method if the lesion is detectable with ultrasound.<br /> </span>
