Abstract

Objective: To report the results of breast ultrasonographicallyguided fine needle aspirations and needle biopsies within the breast cancer screening program of L’Ariana state in Tunisia.
Material and methods:
Our retrospective study include 143 patients, with mammographically detected lesions, which underwent a diagnostic percutanous ultrasonographically guided procedures. 57 patients underwent a fine needle aspiration, 25 underwent a needle biopsy and 61 patients underwent both procedures.
Results: Sensitivity and specificity of fine needle aspiration are of 84,2% and 98,5%. We report 13,5% of non contributive results. The needle biopsy have a sensitivity of 97,3% and a specificity of 100% with one false négative corresponding to an atypical ductal hyperplasia at the excisional biopsy.
Conclusion : Fine needle aspiration is a reliable method of accurately establishing a diagnosis. Needle biopsy is recommended for a preoperative lesion characterisation before adequate treatment.
