Flat epithelial atypia diagnosed on core needle biopsy-Clinical challenge.
AIM This paper describes our experience of 20 cases identified in the FEA vacuum core biopsy. BACKGROUND Screening mammography has contributed to the increased recognition of early cancer, premalignant and preinvasive breast lesions. A premalignant lesion called FEA (flat epithelial atypia), although rarely recognized as the only lesion in the core biopsy, is a major challenge in clinical pro...
متن کاملFlat Epithelial Atypia: A Review of Current Concepts
Columnar cell change in breast epithelium is frequently encountered in biopsies performed for evaluation of radiographically detected microcalcifications. While columnar cell change by itself is typically of no clinical consequence, on occasion cytologic atypia may be present, a finding now termed “flat epithelial atypia (FEA)”. Morphologic, immunophenotypic, and genetic associations between FE...
متن کاملTransthoracic image guided biopsy.
Transthoracic image guided biopsy is now firmly established in the armamentarium of diagnostic tests to establish the nature of a mass in the lung, pleura, mediastinum or chest wall. It may be performed under computed tomographic, ultrasonic or fluoroscopic control, and provided a fine needle technique is employed, morbidity is low. Worldwide reports show a 90% true positive yield and a false p...
متن کاملPET-guided breast biopsy.
Molecular imaging, using positron emission tomography (PET), has become an integral step in the evaluation of many patients with malignancy. However, its use in patients with breast cancer has been limited by the lower levels of (18) F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in some breast malignancies compared to other cancers, the small size of many breast cancers, and the need for biopsy under PET g...
متن کاملRadiology Rounds - September 2006 - Percutaneous Image-Guided Breast Biopsy
Percutaneous image-guided breast biopsies are rapid, minimally invasive procedures that make surgery unnecessary for a large majority (70-80%) of patients whose lesions will prove to be benign. The imageguided biopsies are performed under local anesthetic with no need for conscious sedation using a small incision that requires no stitches to close. The procedures do not deform the breast and ca...
