Sonographically guided excisional biopsy of small abdominal wall masses using vacuum-assisted biopsy device.
We report the case of a 37-year-old man who underwent excision of small benign abdominal wall masses using a vacuum-assisted biopsy device designed for breast biopsy (Mammotome). To our knowledge, this is the first application of such a device to remove a soft tissue mass other than a breast lesion.
