[Use of cytologic examination based on needle aspiration biopsy in the diagnosis of breast pathology].
The authors point out the cytologic test on needle-aspiration report is a method phich, although complementary to clinical examination and mammography, results to be extremely valid and useful for diagnostical purposes and a correct therapeutical programming; they describe the set of instruments and technique they adopted, and point out its easy execution and complete absence of risks. Then, they illustrate the cases they studied, including 86 patient women with both benign and malignant breast pathology, in whom an aspiration biopsy was performed. On the basis of the results obtained, they, as a conclusion, assert the cytologic test with needle-aspiration, although burdened by a fair quantity of false negatives, deserves, for its quick and simple execution, to be included in the breast diagnostical routine, yet without replacing the classic interoperative biopsy for doubtful cases.
