Objective: Fibroadenomas (FAs) involved by atypia are rare. Consensus guidelines for management of FAs involved by atypia when diagnosed on image-guided biopsy do not exist because of limited data reporting surgical upgrade rates to ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) or invasive malignancy. Therefore, these lesions commonly undergo surgical excision.

The utility of TLUS has recently been expanded to the evaluation of synthetic midurethral slings (MUS) surgically implanted for management of stress urinary incontinence. The purpose of this article is to familiarize radiologists with translabial ultrasound technique and provide a technical protocol for TLUS execution because it can be optimized for imaging and assessment of MUS, including identification of MUS configuration and recognition of common complications.
