  • Title: Localization and excision of occult breast lesions.
    Author: Chetty U, Kirkpatrick AE, Anderson TL, Lamb J, Roberts MM, Humeniuk V, Forrest AP.
    Journal: Br J Surg; 1983 Oct; 70(10):607-10. PubMed ID: 6626923.
    Abstract:
    Between 1976 and 1982, 190 non-palpable mammographic abnormalities considered to be suspicious of malignancy were excised using a needle localization technique. The indications for biopsy, technique for localization, method for confirmation of excision and histopathological preparation are presented. The histopathological diagnosis of these lesions were 150 benign and 40 malignant. There was no clear correlation between the mammographic appearances and the occurrence of cancer. Compared with 100 consecutive women with palpable breast cancer the impalpable and mammographically detected tumours were smaller, more often non-invasive and associated with negative axillary nodes.
