Movement of a Biopsy-Site Marker Clip after Completion of Stereotactic Directional Vacuum-assisted Breast Biopsy: Case Report¹

¹ From the Department of Radiology, University of California School of Medicine, San Francisco, CA. Received March 7, 2001; revision requested April 19; revision received May 25; accepted June 7. Address correspondence to E.S.B., Department of Radiology, University of Wisconsin Medical School, E3/311 Clinical Science Center, 600 Highland Avenue, Madison, WI 53792-3252 (e-mail: bburnside@mail.radiology.wisc.edu).

A 51-year-old woman underwent stereotactic core biopsy of suspicious microcalcifications in the upper outer left breast with subsequent metallic clip deployment. Postprocedure mammograms demonstrated accurate placement of the clip. However, mammography 10 months later revealed movement of the clip 4 cm medially in the breast.
