Breast Reduction (BR) is a common procedure around the world. Patients are screened for incidental carcinoma preoperatively by mammography or ultrasonography and BR specimens are sent for pathologic examination postoperatively. Since the incidence of incidental carcinoma is very low, no consensus exist regarding efficiency of pathologic examination. To assess the value of pathologic examination, we examined mammographically and ultrasonographically negative eighty BR specimens from 40 women. Twenty seven women had pathological lesions in their specimens (67,5%). This indicates that, even mammographically and ultrasonographically innocuous, BR specimens may reveal important pathological diagnosis that alters patient management.
乳房缩小术（BR）在全球都是一种常见的手术。术前通过乳房X线摄影或超声对患者进行偶然癌筛查，术后将BR标本送去做病理检查。由于偶然癌的发生率非常低，关于病理检查的效率尚无共识。为了评估病理检查的价值，我们检查了40名女性的80份经乳房X线摄影和超声检查均为阴性的BR标本。27名女性的标本中有病理病变（67.5%）。这表明，即使经乳房X线摄影和超声检查无异常，BR标本也可能揭示重要的病理诊断结果，从而改变患者的治疗方案。
