Lesions Entirely Removed during Stereotactic Biopsy: Preoperative Localization on the Basis of Mammographic Landmarks and Feasibility of Freehand Technique-Initial Experience1

R. James Brenner, MD

1 From the Joyce Eisenberg Keefer Breast Center, John Wayne Cancer Institute, St Johns Health Center, 1328 22nd St, Santa Monica, CA 90404. Received December 9, 1998; revision requested January 26, 1999; final revision received April 28; accepted May 12. Address reprint requests to the author (e-mail: james.brenner@stjohns.org).

Seven patients with mammographic lesions entirely removed at percutaneous core needle biopsy that required wider excision underwent freehand localization of the site of the prior lesion with orthogonal and reproducible mammographic landmarks to guide needle placement. Successful excision was accomplished in all cases, as evidenced by similar histopathologic findings, fibrin bands or collagen, and core needle biopsy tract at microscopy.
