ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the clinical application value of ultrasonography in excising breast mass with Mammotome vacuum assisted biopsy device and a stereotactic unit(MMT).Methods Guided by ultrasonography,breast masses were biopsy and excised with MMT.The property of masses were identified by pathology.The effects were followed up with ultrasonography.Results Sixty one masses of breast in 34 cases were excised.Pathology showed that 54 were fibroadenoma and 7 were fibroadenosis.The patients had little discomfort in operation and few complications post operation.There were no relapses during short interviews.Conclusions MMT can biopsy and excise the breast mass guided by ultrasonography.The operation has little wound and few complications.It is a useful minimally invasive method which does not influence the appearance of breast.Ultrasonography can insure operation safety and precision.The effects are evaluated immediately.
