Abstract
With the expanding use of mammography in clinical practice, as well as in screening, an increasing number of nonpalpable breast lesions are being detected. In this situation, there is an increasing need of an additional diagnostic modality to further characterize these lesions. We have found fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) useful for this purpose (Löfgren et al. 1988). In this paper, our experience with stereotactic FNAB will be presented and compared with coordinate grid FNAB.
