Abstract Background Benign breast tumors although classified as benign lesions but excising them remain a troublesome problem. Surgical excision for frightens most of female population suffering from such problem, which created an urgency to search safe and effective alternative. My aim was assess the efficacy vacuum-assisted biopsy (VAB) system removal in terms complete rate incidence complications. Results Twenty-three patients with 29 twenty-nine were included our study. Mean age 33 years (19–52 years). The 100% follow-up 3 drop outs. largest diameter ranged 1.2 3.3 cm. Rate occurrence complications form intra-procedural pain, 69% experienced mild pain visual analog scale (VAS) score (1–3).21% moderate VAS (4–6).8% no pain. Patients who developed post procedural ecchymosis 17% while hematoma group 10% total number patients. Conclusions study showed that use could provide method fibroadenomas, low incomplete excision, formation.
