Long-Term Follow-Up Result of Benign Phyllodes Tumor of the Breast Diagnosed and Excised by Ultrasound-Guided Vacuum-Assisted Breast Biopsy

Purpose Percutaneous removal of benign breast tumors using ultrasound-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VABB) has been recently regarded as a feasible and safe method without serious complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the VABB in the treatment of benign phyllodes tumors, and to identify whether or not surgical re-excision is necessary for benign phyllodes tumors diagnosed and excised by VABB.
