Abstract

Vacuum-assisted excision biopsy (VAEB) provides a safe alternative to surgical excision for selected (low-risk) B3 breast lesions. We report a case of imaging findings that mimicked malignancy in a patient one year post-VAEB. Awareness of this entity is important to prevent misdiagnosis and unnecessary surgical excision.
