[Non-palpable lesions of the breast. Analysis of 111 cases].
The authors report a series of 111 cases of non-palpable breast tumours. Radiological examinations showed the following mammographic patterns: microcalcification (63%); irregular opacity and/or denseness (26%); opacity and low density microcalcifications (12%), to which 3 progressive risk rates were assigned (high, medium, low). Histological controls of the tumours showed a positive predictive value of 73% for mammographic patterns defined as "high-risk". Localisation using a metal probe proved to be a simple and efficacious method which was well tolerated by patients.
