TLDR
Although benign lesions of the breast may, on occasion, be indistinguishable from carcinoma on mammography, the presence of a typical malignant tumor justifies a strong roentgenographic impression which shoud be nearly 100 per cent accurate.Abstract:
Although benign lesions of the breast may, on occasion, be indistinguishable from carcinoma on mammography, the presence of a typical malignant tumor justifies a strong roentgenographic impression which shoud be nearly 100 per cent accurate. During the past three years, 435 carcinomas of the breast were evaluated by xeromammography prior to surgial excision, 370 of which presented as palpable lesions. In six patients, the initial biopsy of a palpable area yielded benign results, despite a roentgenographic report indicating the presence of a carcinoma. Repeat mammography after biopsy documented the persistence of the suspicious area, all of which were carcinoma upon re-excision. Roentgenographic reappraisal is imperative in circumstances in which the biopsy results do not corroborate the roentgenographic findings. Preoperative needle localization is a useful adjunctive measure to ensure that a palpable area corresponds to a mass visible on the mammogram.read more

TL;DR: Stereotactic- and ultrasonography-guided core-needle biopsy procedures seem to be almost as accurate as open surgical biopsy, with lower complication rates.

Imaging–histologic discordance at percutaneous breast biopsy
Laura Liberman,Michele Drotman,Elizabeth A. Morris,Linda R. LaTrenta,Andrea F. Abramson,Maureen F. Zakowski,D. David Dershaw +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the frequency of histologic discordance at percutaneous breast biopsy and the likelihood of malignancy in these discordant lesions was determined. But, the frequency was significantly higher in the first 2 years of experience with percutaneously imaging percutous biopsy than in later years.

False-negative core needle biopsies of the breast: An analysis of clinical, radiologic, and pathologic findings in 27 consecutive cases of missed breast cancer
Journal ArticleDOI
False‐negative core needle biopsies of the breast
TL;DR: A benign diagnosis in a core needle biopsy of the breast performed for a clinically and/or radiologically suspicious abnormality is often due to a nonrepresentative sample, but the discordance may not be recognized, resulting in a logistic delay in the diagnosis.
