    Abstract

    Several breast biopsy techniques are available for patients presenting with palpable and nonpalpable lesions. Current consensus guidelines recommend percutaneous biopsy as the initial tissue acquisition modality. Image guidance (ultrasound, mammogram, or magnetic resonance imaging) improves accuracy and precision in the biopsy of nonpalpable lesions. Here we review the biopsy techniques in most common use, as well as the indications for each approach.
