Probe lumpectomy Breast conservation surgery Informed consent
A 48-year-old woman presented to our department with a right breast lump measuring 13mm × 12mm × 10mm. Malignant tumor was suspected based on the physical examination, mammography and ultrasonography. Probe lumpectomy was performed. Histology revealed a papillotubular carcinoma, invading into fatty tissue. There wer slight lymphatic vessels involvement without ductal spread. Surgical margins were uninvolved. We obtained informed consent with confidence that there were no risk factors of tumor recurrence in the residual breast. She underwent axillary lymph nodes dissection followed by irradiation to the residual breast and chemo-endocrine therapy post-operatively. She remained disease-free at two months after axillary lymph nodes dissection.
