Use of Confocal Microscopy to Assess the Margins of a Breast Lumpectomy with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma
A 61-year-old woman was diagnosed with a bilateral invasive ductal carcinoma NST without in-situ components. Immunophenotype profile was determined and showed a luminal-A-like carcinoma on both sides.
Utilization of the Histolog® Scanner intraoperatively, clinical and economic perspectives
In November 2020, a non-palpable lesion in the right breast of a 63-year-old woman was detected during standard mammography screening. Suspicious microcalcifications were located at the 9 o’clock position, suspected ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), BIRADS IV (Fig. 1). Vacuum suction core biopsy confirmed the presence of poorly differentiated DCIS with associated microcalcifications.
