Correlation between anatomopathological real find of non-palpable breast lesions and test of image
Keywords:
Stereotactic localization, Benign lesions, Breast cancerAbstract
Objectives: To describe surgical biopsies after wire localization of non palpable mammary lesions and
to consider their anatomopathological correlation. Methods: A descriptive and retrospective study was
realized through analysis of handbooks of patients at Mastology Clinics of the Instituto de Previdência
dos Servidores do Estado de Minas Gerais (IPSEMG). All cases ofpatients submitted to surgical biopsy of
non-palpable mammary lesion after wire localization for mammography or ultrasound, during the period
of 8/3/2004 to 5/25/2006, were selected. The variables analyzed were: age ofthe patient at the time of the
surgery, type of breast lesion presented during the tests of image and anatomopathological result. Results:
There were a total of 261 surgeries, which 236 cases were elected. The average age of the patients was 50,9
years (19-91 years). In 120 cases (50.85%) the biopsy was made due to the mammary microcalcifications;
in 95 cases (40.25%) for nodule; in 15 cases (6.36%) forfocal asymmetry and in 6 cases (2.54%) for architectural distortion. The anatomopathological result was benign in 170 cases (72.03%) and malignantin 66 (27.97%). Conclusions: The casuistic of the Mastology Service of IPSEMG is compatible with the
data founded in literature. The surgical management of non-palpable breast lesions after wire localization
is a procedure which is able to establish the differential diagnostic of these lesions, breast cancer diagnosis in
early stage and to promote the complete removal ofthe injuries in frequently single surgical time.
