To propose a rational attitude to treat infraclinic breast lesions about a 176-case retrospective analysis.Between January and December 2000, 176 patients were addressed for an infraclinic breast lesion. The epidemiologic and mammographic data, diagnostic management and histological results were collected.Patients were addressed for an ACR 2 lesion in 0.8% of cases, ACR 3: 34.8%, ACR 4: 43.2% and ACR 5: 21.2%. One hundred and sixteen patients underwent a stereotactic macrobiopsy: 55 Advanced Breast Biopsy Instrumentation (ABBI), 61 Minimal Invasive Breast Biopsy (MIBB). Histologically, 59.5% were benign, 33.6% malignant, 2.6% borderline and 4.3% suspicious or non contributive. Forty-two patients underwent an open surgical biopsy. Histologically 56.1% were benign, 41.5% malignant and 2.4% borderline. Eighteen patients were controlled by mammography. Among ACR 3s there were 90% of benign lesions and 46% of malignancy in ACR 4s. Patients with malignant, borderline or suspicious result in stereotactic biopsy, underwent one-time surgery in 97% vs 55% in surgical biopsy (P0.0001).Infraclinic breast lesions must be radiologically classified with the ACR classification. Stereotactic macrobiopsies are reserved for ACR 4 and ACR 5 lesions. Because of their reliability, practice of macrobiopsies avoids surgery in about 50% of ACR 4 lesions which correspond to benign lesions. When the result is malignant, it allows most of times surgical procedure one-time. |
