Ultrasound-Guided Vacuum-Assisted Biopsy in Small Breast: A Cost-Saving Solution.

Background: The study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and reliability of ultrasound-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (US-VABB) for sampling of microcalcifications indicative of cancer when stereotactic vacuum-assisted breast biopsy cannot be performed because of reasons such as thin breast tissue, insufficient thickness at compression, and microcalcification situated close to the chest wall or in breast tissue of the axillary tail.

Patients And Methods: The study population was selected from among 187 patients with microcalcifications detected on mammogram. The findings were classified using the American College of Radiology criteria as Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System 3, 4, or 5.

Incidentally discovered well-differentiated retroperitoneal liposarcoma with inguinal canal herniation: report of 2 cases.

Well-differentiated retroperitoneal liposarcomas are slow growing and low-grade tumors, reaching usually huge size before being symptomatic and so diagnosed, therefore with increase of the surgical risk and of the probability of dedifferentiation. Inguinal location of these tumors is unusual and rarely diagnosed.
