Abstract

Breast mass lesions, especially fibroadenoma are common; however, determining the malignant potential of the lesion can be difficult. Recently, vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VABB) has been widely to evaluate, diagnose, and treat breast mass lesions. This study aimed to investigate the value and efficacy of VABB. Materials and Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional descriptive study in 20 patients who had benign breast mass lesions, confirmed the histopathology by fine-needle aspiration and core needle biopsy, and underwent vacuum-assisted biopsy in the Radiology Center, Hanoi Medical University. Results: The research of 20 patients showed that the mean diameter of lesions of 20,15mm (10-36mm), the complete resection rate of VABB was 95% after 3 months and 6 months, the recurrence rate of 0% after 6 months of follow-up. There is no correlation between the diameter of lesions and the complete resection rate (p=0,33). Postoperative hematoma, pain, and ecchymosis after VABB were 5%, 10%, and 5%, respectively. Conclusion: VABB is safe, effective method in diagnosis and treatment of benign breast lesions with a high complete resection rate, relatively low recurrence rate, and minor complications.
