[Technical aspects of guided biopsy following placement of a "harpoon" for infra-clinical, radiologically suspect breast lesions].
The importance of systematic mammography in cancer screening had been well demonstrated. "Harpooning" under radiological control improves the precision of the surgical technique of excisional biopsy of infra-clinical mammary lesions. Among the 20 patients subjected to this technique at the Bordet Institute, 6 cases were malignant tumors (30%). Only once did this technique not allow the excision of the mammographically visualized lesion. No surgical complications have been noted. The neoplastic lesions had been essentially represented radiologically as grouped, dense and irregular microcalcifications.
