Abstract
The management of B3 breast lesions using vacuum-assisted excision (VAE) is gaining increasing traction in clinical practice. However, it is infrequently reported in the literature how this technique may affect long-term imaging appearances. We present a challenging case in which the previous VAE site displayed a mass-like appearance that mimicked breast cancer. The purpose of this case report is to share our experience and illustrate the ultrasound and mammographic characteristics of the residual cavity after VAE, in order to contribute to expanding knowledge regarding radiological imaging post-VAE, which is currently still limited.
