Abstract
BACKGROUND
Core needle biopsy (CNB) method is a common method and a gold standard for the diagnosis of breast lesions. The purpose of this study was to compare the results of visual inspection of ultrasound guided biopsy specimens with pathologic outcomes in patients with breast lesions.
METHODS
This cross-sectional descriptive was conducted on 600 patients with breast lesions who were candidates for ultrasonography with CNB were entered into the study. Then, patients underwent sonography with needle biopsy, in a sample taken by The radiologist classifies the breast mass according to its consistency and shape based on observation to the malignant or benign, as well as the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System or Mass BIRADs. visual inspection results were compared with the CNB pathology of patients.
RESULTS
In this study, the sensitivity and specificity of the lesion were 97.48% and 94.10%, respectively, and positive and negative predictive values of this test were 85.64% and 99.05%, respectively.
CONCLUSION
Given that the sensitivity and specificity of the biopsy lesions to detect the type of mass was higher than the pathology of the sample, it can be ensured that the biopsy of breast lesions, especially in sizes less than 10 mm in time Increased the biopsy and reduced the number of cores taken from the lesion.
