| Abstrakt: | Stereotactic vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VABB) system is generally used to perform breast biopsies after identifying suspicious lesions that are occult on ultrasound. In this case, we used an 8-Gauge VABB to retrieve a needle point retained in the outer-lower quadrant of the right breast of a patient previously treated with lumpectomy. The use of stereotactic VABB system in this specific clinical setting has been never described before and resulted minimally invasive and perfectly suitable for correct localisation and retrieval of the 3-mm needle point; moreover, it may be easily reproduced elsewhere.
