Kolkata: Furthering the commitment to strengthening the delivery of global standards of clinical excellence, the CK Birla Hospital, successfully treated a 26-year-old patient by removing a 10 cm breast lump through an innovative tissue biopsy sampling method.
Vacuum-Assisted Breast Biopsy (VABB) is an innovative and more effective alternative to the traditional method where benign lumps are removed surgically, leaving scars and causing distress. Advanced technologies like VABB enable the removal of the smallest of benign lumps without leaving scars or causing disfigurement of the breast. The young patient was experiencing a lump in her breast for the last 4 years which gradually started increasing in size. On consulting the doctor, she underwent a biopsy which ruled out the presence of cancerous cells.
The patient was diagnosed with fibroadenoma, a benign breast condition characterized by non-cancerous tumors made up of glandular and connective tissues. Fibroadenomas comprise about 50% of all breast biopsies in young women. A team of doctors led by Dr. Rohan Khandelwal at The Breast Centre, CK Birla Hospital, Gurugram, recommended the VABB treatment to avoid scarring on the breast. The fibroadenoma lump was removed through a minimal 2mm incision.
