[Preoperative localization of pathologic findings in mammography].
Pre-operative localization of abnormal findings during mammography makes it easier to find the lesions if they are not palpable. Our study is based on 373 procedures, using a "harpoon" needle. Radiographs of the operative specimen showed that 66% of the lesions had been completely removed, 15% had been partially removed and 19% could not be identified unequivocally. 172 patients had subsequent mammograms. Amongst these, the lesion had been completely removed in 70%, partially removed in 14% and in 10% it was still present. In 62% dense scar formation made it impossible to be certain whether excision had been complete.
