Abstract

Accurate mark of macrobiopsy site, carried out borderline or malignant lesions, is very important for surgeons. We report a woman case, 68 year's old, who presents intraductal carcinoma diagnoses on macrobiopsy. On postbiopsy X-ray, we can note lipiodol used instead of clip to reaper macrobiopsy site. Our observation shows how lipiodol use is not adapted into this indication.
