Recurrent Mastitis after Core Needle Biopsy: Case Report of an Unusual Complication after Core Needle Biopsy of a Phyllodes Tumor

Recurrent Mastitis after Core Needle Biopsy: Case Report of an Unusual Complication after Core Needle Biopsy of a Phyllodes Tumor.

BACKGROUND: In the routine work-up of suspect breast lesions, ultrasound-controlled core needle biopsy (CNB) is the most common tool to acquire tissue for histopathologic analysis in a safe, quick and convenient way. Complications are generally rare. The most common complications are hematoma and infection, each with less than 1 in 1000 cases. CASE REPORT: Here, we present a case of a 48-year-...

Concordance Rate between Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy and Core Needle Biopsy in Breast Lesions

Background and Objectives:Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide. Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is one of the methods of breast biopsy which is fast, easy and cost effective. The aim of this study was to evaluate the concordance rate between pathologic results of sonography or stereotaxy guided FNAB and guided core needle biopsy (CNB) in the evaluation of breast le...

Spontaneous regression of a pulmonary adenocarcinoma after core needle biopsy

Spontaneous regression (SR) of cancer, especially lung cancer, is a rare biological event with a mechanism that is not currently understood. Immunological mechanisms seem to be the stronger explanation in SR of a lung cancer. We report the rare case of SR of a lung adenocarcinoma stage IA, in a 75-year-old man, which was incidentally diagnosed and histologically confirmed. Due to the patient's ...

Needle tract seeding after core biopsy in a knee tumor; should biopsy tract be excised?

A 62 year old male patient presented to our unit with a painful mass of his left distal femur and knee swelling. Imaging studies showed a large osteolytic tumor with extension in the soft tissues (vastus lateralis). Staging CT (chest and abdomen) and Tc-99m-MDP bone scan were positive for lung mass, adrenal and liver lesions as well as multiple bone lesions suggesting possible metastatic cancer...
