- Abstract
- OBJECTIVE
Papillary tumor is known to be evaluated the histology through complete resection because of difficulty to distinguish between benign tumor and malignant tumor through core needle biopsy. We introduced clinical experience for better diagnosis of papillary tumor through ultrasound-guided vacuum-assisted resection (Mammotome). METHODS: We carried out core needle biopsy and Mammotome for 25 patients diagnosed to papillary tumor and found out the pathologic results. RESULTS: We diagnosed 17 cases (68.0%) of intraductal papilloma, 3 cases (12.0%) of intraductal papilloma with florid epithelial hyperplasia, 4 cases (16.0%) of atypical papilloma, and 1 case of ductal carcinoma in situ. CONCLUSION: These results suggest Mammotome is useful procedure for providing more correct pathologic findings through complete resection for papillary tumors.
