Abstract：Objective To compare and assess the value of ultrasound-guided vacuum-assisted biopsy sys-tem ( UGVAB) in the diagnosis and excision of breast multifocal lesions and isolated lesions. Methods 345 patients were retrospectively analyzed and received ultrasound-guided diagnostic breast biopsy procedures per-formed by the 8-gauge vacuum-assisted biopsy approach from March 2012 to February 2014. All lesions were ex-cised as completely as possible. One year and a half after operation, patients diagnosed as pathological benign lesions were followed up through physical and ultrasound examination. Results All lesions were obtained accu-rate pathological diagnosis. After 6 months of postoperative follow-up,all benign lesions did not appear apparent false-negative results. The rates of malignant or premalignant findings and postoperative complications were signifi-cantly higher in patients with multifocal lesions than in patients with single lesion (P<0. 05). Postoperative com-plications in patients with benign tumors received no further surgery. Conclusions Ultrasound-guided vacuum-as-sisted biopsy system should be a routinely method of choice in diagnosing and treating breast multifocal lesions.
