(Ultrasound guided therapeutic excisional vacuum assisted Biopsy in Fibroadenoma (BIRAD3 lesions

Abstract

Our study shows 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 in 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. FIBROADENOMA is the most common breast tumor in adolescent girls and women younger than 25 years. Although the peak incidence is between the second and third decades of life, it is not uncommon in postmenopausal women, with an increased incidence after hormone replacement therapy.( Rosen PP 2006 ) Overall, it occurs in approximately 10% of women and accounts for about 50% of breast biopsies performed.( Greenberg 1998 ).
