Abstract

SUMMARY


Objective: The purpose of this article is initial assessment the value
of vaccum assited biopsy technique in diagnosis breast microcalcification
lesions.
Materials and Methods: The prospective study included 17 women with 18 breast microcalcification lesions without mass that were classified BIRADS 4- 5.All lesions underwent imaging- vaccum assisted biopsy between August 2019 and July 2020 in Radiology Centre- Bach Mai Hospital.
Results: The study involved 2 lesions with stereostatic vaccum assited biopsy- SVAB and 16 lesions with ultrasound guided vaccum assisted biopsy- USVAB. The mean duration of procedure was 53.22 ± 15.06 (minutes).The median number specimen was 10.9 ± 4.2. All lesions had microcalcifications in specimens. In terms of complications, the mild pain rate was 27.8% and 1/18 (5.6%) had hematoma without surgery. Biopsy results revealed 7 benign and 11 malignant lesions. The malignant rate in
fine pleomorphic, amorphous and linear microcalcification were 87.5%, 33.3% and 100%, respectively.The malignant rate in regional, segmental
and cluster distribution were 50%, 71.4% and 57.1%, respectively.9/11 malignant lesions had histopathologic results after surgery. The total upgrade rate at surgery was 22.2% (all for ductal carcinomas in situ-
DCIS). Patients with benign lesions were followed up for a median period of 6 months, with no interval change. The sensitivity, specificity, positive
predictive and negative predictive value of VAB in diagnostic breast microcalcification were 100%.
Conclusion: Our first experiences: Image-guided vacuum-assisted
breast biopsy is accurate, reliable and minimally invasive.It can be used as a safe approach for diagnosis in patients with breast microcalcifications.
