Biópsia a vácuo guiada por ressonância magnética: experiência e resultados preliminares de 205 procedimentos.

Magnetic resonance imaging-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsy: experience and preliminary results of 205 procedures.

Objective: To demonstrate the frequency of malignancy and histological characteristics of lesions in patients submitted to vacuumassisted breast biopsy guided by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective study of MRI-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsies performed between April 2008 and December 2016, in which we analyzed clinical and epidemiological data, as well as the BI-RADS classification and histopathological results. We compared nodules and non-nodular enhancements, in terms of their correlation with malignancy, using chi-square test. Results: Among 215 cases referred for MRI-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsy, the procedure was contraindicated in 10 cases (5%) and was technically feasible in the remaining 205 (95%). Non-nodular enhancements were observed in 135 cases (66%), and nodules were observed in 70 (34%), with a mean diameter of 2.2 cm (range, 0.5-9.6 cm) and 0.97 cm (range, 0.5-2.2 cm), respectively. Of the 205 lesions analyzed, 43 (21%) were malignant, 129 (63%) were benign, and 33 (16%) were classified as high-risk lesions. The most common histological findings were invasive ductal carcinoma and, in high-risk cases, lobular neoplasia. There was no significant difference between nodules and non-nodular enhancements in terms of the rate of malignancy (p = 0.725). Conclusion: In our sample, the overall malignancy rate was 21%. However, to improve the assessment of these results, it is necessary to correlate them with the surgical data and with data from the follow-up of benign cases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objetivo: Demonstrar a frequência de malignidade e as características histológicas das lesões encontradas em pacientes submetidas a biópsia a vácuo guiada por ressonância magnética (RM). Materiais e Métodos: Estudo retrospectivo, realizado no período de abril de 2008 a dezembro de 2016, de biópsia a vácuo guiada por RM, em que se analisaram dados clinicoepidemiológicos, classificação BI-RADS e resultados histopatológicos. A comparação entre os nódulos e os realces não nodulares e a presença de malignidade foi realizada utilizando-se o teste de qui-quadrado. Resultados: Dos 215 casos com indicação de biópsia a vácuo guiada por RM, 10 (5%) foram contraindicados e os restantes 205 (95%) foram tecnicamente viáveis. Foi observado que 66% eram realces não nodulares (135 lesões) e 34% eram nódulos (70 lesões), medindo, em média, 2,2 cm (0,5-9,6 cm) e 0,97 cm (0,5-2,2 cm), respectivamente. Das 205 lesões analisadas, 43 (21%) eram malignas, 129 (63%) eram benignas e 33 (16%) eram de alto risco. O achado histológico mais frequente nos casos de malignidade foi o carcinoma ductal infiltrante, e nos casos de alto risco, as neoplasias lobulares. Não houve diferenças estatisticamente significantes entre os nódulos e realces não nodulares em relação a malignidade (p = 0,725). Conclusão: Na nossa amostra, a taxa global de malignidade foi de 21%. No entanto, é necessário correlação com dados cirúrgicos e seguimento nos casos benignos, para melhor avaliação dos resultados.
