In our paper we present 36 patients with non-papable breast lesions. All the lesions were visualized in mammography. Radiological enrollment criteria were: microcalcifications, star-shaped lesions, asymmetrical lesions, structure irregularities. Patients were qualified for an open, wire-guided excisional biopsy. After this surgical procedure another mammography scans were performed to confirm lesion removal in 21 cases. Pathology examination showed as follows: dysplasia benigna (23), hyperplasia atypica (3), ductal invasive carcinoma, lobular invasive carcinoma (7), micropapillomatisis (1), fibrocystic disease (1). No ductal or lobular carcinomas in situ were found. There were mastectomy (4), quadrantectomy (1) and local wide excision (4) performed in cancer patients. Wire-guided open breast biopsy of non-palpable breast lesions is the useful diagnostic and curative method in carefully selected cases. breast, biopsy, breast carcinoma, wire-guided biopsy keywords:
