Abstract：Objective: To explore the clinical value of minimally invasive treatment of multiple breast fibroadenomas using high frequency ultrasound-guided Mammotome vaccum-assisted hand-held device. Methods: One hundred and fourteen breast fibroadenomas in 37 patients were removed by Mammotome biopsy system. The results of high frequency ultrasound guidance and treatment were evaluated. Results: The needle position in 114 lesions was all visualized and real-time ultrasound guidance was successful. Fibroadenomas(5~18mm) were completely excised in all 37 patients. No other complications occurred except 1 case of subcutaneous ecchymosis and 1 case of small hematoma. Conclusion: For breast fibroadenomas 5~18mm in size, high frequency ultrasound-guided Mammotome excision is minimally invasive and significantly effective in suitable patients.
