Results with a previously described device for fine needle biopsies of non-palpable breast lesions are reported. During the past 5 years 182 biopsies were performed and 133 of these yielded diagnostic cell material. In the series, 41 carcinomas were found and fine needle biopsy in all demonstrated malignant or probably malignant cells. In the biopsies evaluated as benign or probably benign, malignancy has not been found during the observation period of 4 to 59 months (mean 21.5 months). The device described is cheap and biopsy is easily performed and, if necessary, repeated in a short time. The diagnostic accuracy is high and carcinomas as small as 3 mm in diameter have been diagnosed.

Purpose: To evaluate the role of ultrasonography (US) as a method of guidance for fine-needle aspiration biopsy or preoperative wire localization in the demonstration of nonpalpable mammographically detected breast lesions Material and Methods: A total of 168 nonpalpable mammographically detected breast lesions were examined by means of high-resolution real-time US Results: US depicted: 55% of all the lesions (92/168); 88% of the circumscribed densities (45/51); 80% of the stellate densities (35/44); 47% of the asymmetric densities (7/15); and 9% of the microcalcifications (5/58) Conclusion: US was useful in guiding needle biopsy or wire localization in most of the circumscribed and stellate breast lesions, even in fatty breasts. However, with the equipment that is currently available, US was of no value in localizing microcalcifications

SummaryThyroid surgery is one of the more common surgical procedures in Germany. This is in contrast with the situation in some other countries, where this procedure is performed comparatively rarely. In this paper the number of thyroid surgeries in Germany is compared with other western countries (Netherlands, USA, England). In contrast to e. g. the USA and England the number of thyroid surgeries in Germany is declining, however with approximately 109/100 000/year in 2012 is still elevated (Netherlands: 16/100 000/year, USA: at least 42/100 000/year, England: at least 27/100 000/year).Possible contributing factors to this higher number of thyroid surgeries in Germany are explored. These factors include iodine deficiency, the frequent use of advanced diagnostics such as ultrasound, insufficient use of preoperative diagnostic measures such as fine needle biopsy and the practice of “defensive medicine”. How much each of these factors contributes is however unclear.
