CHARACTERISTICS OF BREAST ULTRASOUND IMAGES AFTER ULTRASOUND-GUIDED VACUUM ASSISTED BREAST BIOPSY
Main Article Content
Abstract
Aim: To evaluate breast ultrasound images followed-up after complete excision of benign breast tumors by ultrasound-guided vacuum assisted breast biopsy (VABB). Subjects and methods: This is a prospective and retrospective study of 143 patients with 190 lesions at the Radiology Center - Bach Mai Hospital from August 2018 to August 2021. The patients had undergone VABB device excision of benign breast tumors and been followed up by ultrasonography for 1- 3 years. Results: Within 1 month of follow-up, the main complication was hematoma (87.4%), after 1-3 years of follow-up, most of the lesions did not leave any traces (from 75% after 1-2 years of follow-up to 84.2% after 2 years) or only had minimal scars or minimal parenchyma distortion. There was only one case of residual tumor detected 1 year after excision due to objective factors. The average scar volume after 1 -2 years of follow-up is 0.01 ± 0.03 cm3 and 0.01 ± 0.02 cm3 after 2 years. There is a positive linear relationship between hematoma and scar with tumor volume and number of spicimens and between scar and hematoma after excision. Conclusion: VABB is a safe, effective, highly cosmetic method, accurately diagnose of breast lesions, and it is the choice for the treatment of benign breast tumors.
