Throughout life, a woman’s body undergoes various changes. While many are normal, discovering a breast lump can cause concern and anxiety. Although a breast lump may raise concerns about breast cancer, not all breast lumps are cancerous. Benign conditions, such as fibroadenomas and breast cysts, can also cause lumps.

A breast lump is a localized area of tissue or a mass within the breast. Its cause may be benign or malignant, so a new or changing lump should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare professional. Clinical examination and appropriate imaging or biopsy may be recommended depending on the findings.

For many women, concerns about a breast lump may include the possibility of surgery, scarring, and changes in breast appearance. However, the need for removal and the type of procedure depend on the nature, size, and location of the lump, as well as the results of clinical assessment.

Vacuum-Assisted Breast Biopsy (VABB) is a minimally invasive, image-guided technique used to obtain breast tissue samples for laboratory examination. In selected cases, it may also be used to remove certain benign breast lesions. It involves a small skin incision, but a completely scar-free result cannot be guaranteed. VABB is not suitable for every breast lump, and further treatment may be required depending on the findings.

In this article, Dr. Shailesh Kumar Garge discusses vacuum-assisted breast biopsy, including its potential uses, benefits, limitations, and factors to consider when evaluating a breast lump.
