Malignant seeding of the needle track during stereotaxic core needle breast biopsy

LP Harter, JS Curtis, G Ponto and PH Craig
Breast Care Center, Goleta Valley Community Hospital, Santa Barbara, CA 93111.

Early reports demonstrated the diagnostic advantage of large-core (14- gauge) biopsy over fine-needle aspiration biopsy of nonpalpable lesions of the breast without apparent significant increase in morbidity. A case of malignant seeding of the needle track after a large-core biopsy of a mucinous carcinoma of the breast is documented. The potential for increased risk of tract seeding of malignancy must be considered.
