Diagnosis of the impalpable lesion

U Chetty

Universtiy Department of Surgery, Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh Edinburgh, UK

Abstract

The use of mammography, to aid the diagnosis of patients with symptons or as a screening test, presents the problem of diagnosing mammographic abnormalities not associated with a palpable lesion. To deal adequately with this, close co-operation is required amongst the radiologist, clinician/surgeon and pathologist/cytologist. A significiant number of unnecessary biopsies have been carried out when each of the opinions or producers are performed in isolation and when communications between the different specialities involved is via formal reports as compared to assessment carried out jointly.
