Abstract
The examination of excised, non-palpable mammorgraphic lesions in breast biopsies is a recognized problem for the pathologist. There may be difficulties in identifying the lesion macroscopically and in subsequent sampling. This paper describes a simple method for resolvng these problems. The breast biopsy is attached to the perspex grid and then radigraphed. Use of the grid co-ordinates assists appropriate sampling of the specimen. Advantages over previously described methods are discussed.
