Ultrasound-guided and stereotactic fine needle aspiration of breast lesions manifested by mammographic calcifications

It is known that a number of breast disorder may result in calcifications, most of which are benign. Of note, however, is that one of the early signs of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is calcification of the ducts. For this reason mammography is used as a screening method for detecting breast cancers before they are clinically apparent. However, mammography has its limitations in women under the age of 35. Aim of the study: 1) To show the proportion of calcifications in breast lesions ; 2) To determine whether high-frequency ultrasound may be used to reliably localize breast microcalcification ; 3) To evaluate the cytologic finding of ultrasound (US) guided and stereotacti...
