Abstract

Abstract:

Breast nodules are currently not clearly defined. In general, clinical palpable breast lesions are called breast masses, while clinically non-palpable breast lesions which can be detected by imaging are called breast nodules. Most of the breast nodules are detected by ultrasonography and regarded as benign hypoechoic lesions, often classified as BI-RADS 3 or 4A. Breast nodules are often observed in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of breast disease. The assessment, diagnosis and treatment of breast nodules are controversial. We usually assess the risk using BI-RADS, and apply mammography and MRI to prevent missed diagnosis, and take the size and hardness of lesions and patients' age into consideration in clinical grading.According to the relevant guidelines, core-needle biopsy and vacuum-assisted breast biopsy can be used for early diagnosis. The accumulation of clinical data pertaining to the assessment and diagnosis of breast nodules will improve the treatment in the future.

Key words: Breast diseases, Biopsy needle, Diagnosis
