Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) was performed on 39 occult breast masses of soft tissue density using standard mammographic guidance. All malignant tumors were diagnosed as either positive or suspicious for carcinoma, and there were no false-positive or false-suspicious diagnoses. These excellent results can be attributed to accurate cytologic interpretation based on consideration of problems unique to these lesions and the sampling method, such as scantier cellularity, potentially less confidence in needle placement, and the nature of the occult mass itself. The team approach between pathologist, radiologist, and clinician is emphasized.
在标准乳腺钼靶引导下，对39个软组织密度的隐匿性乳腺肿块进行了细针穿刺活检（FNAB）。所有恶性肿瘤均被诊断为癌阳性或可疑，且无假阳性或假可疑诊断。这些优异的结果可归因于基于对这些病变特有的问题以及采样方法（如细胞数量较少、对针放置的信心可能较低以及隐匿性肿块本身的性质）的考虑而进行的准确细胞学解释。强调了病理学家、放射科医生和临床医生之间的团队协作方法。
