    Abstract:
    The advanced breast biopsy instrumentation (ABBI) allows the radiologically guided stereotactic excision of non-palpable radiodense lesions with high accuracy. Forty-six patients with suspicious clusters of microcalcifications (n = 37) and with round lesions (n = 9) of the breast were investigated using the ABBI. Tissue cylinders were successfully removed in 98% of cases. No wound complications occurred and cosmesis was excellent. Histopathology revealed 35 benign (76%) and 11 malignant (24%) lesions. With the ABBI system, non-palpable breast lesions can be precisely localized and excised.
