Core Needle Breast Biopsy – Gdańsk

Accurate Ultrasound-Guided Diagnosis of Breast Lesions

At Mediss Medical Clinic in Gdańsk, we offer core needle breast biopsy – a modern and precise diagnostic procedure that helps determine the nature of a detected breast lesion and plan further treatment if necessary. This examination is especially important for women whose ultrasound or mammography results have revealed suspicious changes.

Core needle breast biopsy provides patients with fast and reliable results while minimizing discomfort and shortening the time needed to reach a diagnosis.

What Is a Core Needle Breast Biopsy?

Core needle biopsy is a minimally invasive diagnostic procedure performed under ultrasound guidance (USG). During the procedure, the doctor collects a small tissue sample from a breast lump or lesion using a special core biopsy needle, allowing for a detailed histopathological evaluation.

The collected tissue sample is sent to a pathology laboratory, where it is examined by a specialist. This makes it possible to determine whether the lesion is benign or requires further diagnostics or treatment.

When Is a Breast Biopsy Recommended?

Core needle breast biopsy is recommended in situations such as:

• detection of a breast lump during ultrasound or mammography,
• a lesion with suspicious imaging characteristics,
• the need to determine the nature of a detected lesion,
• evaluation of suspicious or newly detected palpable changes,
• when the physician requires a definitive diagnosis before planning treatment.

This examination allows for a fast and reliable assessment of breast lesions, often helping to avoid unnecessary surgery.

How Is the Procedure Performed?

Core needle breast biopsy at Mediss Medical Clinic is performed on an outpatient basis and usually takes several minutes. The procedure is carried out in a comfortable environment, and the patient may return home immediately afterward.

During the examination, the patient lies comfortably on an examination table while the doctor locates the breast lesion using ultrasound. Under continuous ultrasound guidance, the doctor then performs the tissue sampling using a core biopsy needle. Local anesthesia is routinely administered to ensure maximum patient comfort.

After the procedure, the puncture site is covered with a dressing, and the patient receives instructions regarding further observation and care.

How Should You Prepare for a Core Needle Breast Biopsy?

Breast biopsy does not require hospitalization or complicated preparation. Before the examination, it is recommended to:

• avoid anticoagulant medications after consulting your physician,
• inform the medical staff about medications you are taking and any medical conditions,
• avoid applying creams, lotions, or deodorants to the underarm area on the day of the examination.

The doctor will conduct a medical interview and determine whether additional tests are needed before the procedure.

What Happens After the Biopsy?

Histopathological results are usually available within several days. After receiving the results, the doctor will invite you for a follow-up appointment to discuss the findings and plan any further management — including observation, conservative treatment, or additional diagnostic procedures.

After the procedure, we recommend:

• avoiding intense physical activity for 24–48 hours,
• monitoring the biopsy site (minor bruising may occur and is considered normal),
• contacting your doctor in case of persistent pain, swelling, or heavy bleeding.
