Abstract
The management of nonpalpable breast lesions bears witness to the corr elation of cognitive and procedural skills, cooperation between physic ians, and the technical achievement of contemporary medicine. Screenin g mammography is discussed because of its role in the discovery of cli nically occult breast lesions. In addition, needle-guided biopsy, ster eotactic ''core'' biopsy, and ultrasound-guided biopsy are described.
