title: Iatrogenic arteriovenous fistula of the breast as a complication of core needle biopsy.
abstract: Ultrasonography guided core biopsy has become the standard of care in the assessment of breast cancer. Although the procedure is associated with low rates of complications, we present a case report of a rare complication of the procedure that has been reported only once previously in the medical literature.
