Localization of occult breast lesions.
Localizing nonpalpable suspicious lesions seen by mammography is a challenge to the surgeon. Using a previously reported technique we report our experience in 66 needle localization procedures for nonpalpable lesions of which fourteen were carcinoma. We emphasize the ease and accuracy of this technique with minimal loss of breast substance.
