Objective: The objective of our study was to retrospectively review our experience regarding the value of sonography in identifying a nonpalpable mass within a surgically excised specimen and in assessing the surgical margins in cases of malignancy.
Materials And Methods: One hundred four lumpectomies were performed in 99 consecutive patients with 131 nonpalpable breast lesions after sonographically guided needle localization. All 104 surgical specimens were scanned on sonography, and 86 specimen radiographs were obtained.
