  • Title: [Removal of fibroadenomas by vacuum-assisted biopsy].
    Author: Kolkman S, Zonderland HM.
    Journal: Ned Tijdschr Geneeskd; 2011; 155(40):A3393. PubMed ID: 21988754.
    Abstract:
    Clinically the removal of fibroadenomas is not indicated. However, there are patients who insist upon fibroadenoma removal. An alternative to surgery is the vacuum-assisted biopsy system. Using this system, fibroadenomas up to 4 cm can be successfully removed under ultrasound guidance by taking multiple tissue samples. Using this technique, the cosmetic outcome is better than with surgical excision. The level of patient satisfaction is high.
