Mammography is currently the most reliable imaging technique to detect clinically occult breast cancer. Stereotaxic-guided aspiration biopsy during mammography allows lesion nature to be diagnosed in many cases. Our experience with 72 microhistologic breast samplings with fine-needle aspiration cytology is reported; 50% of inadequate cytologic samplings were avoided. Adequate cytologic samples were obtained in 88.9% of cases, while microhistologic samples were adequate in 94.4% of cases. Inadequate samples were 11.1% and 5.6%, respectively. Microhistologic biopsies yielded fewer questionable results than fine-needle aspiration cytology, which helped reduce the number of unnecessary biopsies. This method, which is reliable and well tolerated by the patients, can be considered as a valuable alternative procedure to fine-needle aspiration cytology.
