They were all females, with an average age of 45 years. Five patients underwent modified radical mastectomy, 2 patients underwent breast-conserving surgery plus sentinel lymph nodes biopsy, and 1 case underwent breast-conserving surgery plus axillary lymph node dissection. All 8 patients were diagnosed as invasive ductal carcinoma of breast by hollow needle biopsy.
