| Sumario: | Impalpable breast lesions are subclinical findings discovered by mammography screening. These lesions are quite common, representing an important reason for appointments in mastology clinics. Nodules, microcalcifications, distortion of the mammary parenchymal architecture and asymmetrical densities are the main impalpable breast lesions. We describe their characteristics and relation with BIRADS classification as an alternative treatment. The treatment includes clinical follow up, cytological and histopathological evaluation (core biopsy) – both guided by ultrasonography or stereotaxy –, mammotomy, and wire-directed localization biopsy |
