designed to evaluate fine-needle aspiration (FNA) of nonpalpable breast lesions performed by multiple operators using the same protocol.
The fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNA) from 12 mammographically detected, histologically confirmed radial scar/complex sclerosing lesions (RS/CSL) and their corresponding mammography were reviewed. Six aspirates were obtained by palpation, four by ultrasound guidance, and two by stereotactic guid
## BACKGROUND. Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) of breast specimens can be difficult and between 10 -25% of the lesions ultimately are classified as "atypical," even by the most experienced cytopathologist. The goal of this study was to identify a molecular mechanism that reliably distinguishes benign
