Application of Mammotome minimally invasive system in diagnosis and treatment of nonpalpable breast multiple lesions

Objective: To evaluate the clinical application of ultrasound-guided Mammotome minimally invasive system in nonpalpable breast multiple lesions.Methods: Five hundreds and seventy-five breast masses from 163 patients were identified by ultrasonic imaging method.Excision or biopsy of the lesions were performed using Mammotome probe under ultrasonic guidance,and then all samples were send to pathology examination.Results: All lesions were excised under real-time ultrasound guidance,and the probability of success was 100%.The postoperative complications were ecchymoma in 2 cases,skin cyanosis in 5 cases.The malignant tumors included invasive ductal carcinoma in 9 patient,and the benign diseases included mammary fibroma in 316 masses,galactoma in 174 masses,intraductal papilloma in 35 masses,adenosis in 41 masses.Conclusions: Mammotome system guided by ultrasound is position fixed accurately and minimally invasive to resect or biopsy breast mass,especially suitable for nonpalpable breast multiple lesions.
