[Mammary tumor puncture with fine needle].

Breast cancer is the second malignant tumor that affects women in our population. The fine needle biopsy is a sensitive and specific technique. The purpose for this study was to show our experience at our institution. The fine needle biopsy was performed in 22 patients with diagnosis of breast tumor; all were surgically treated. In all the cases the initial cytology showed a high correlation with final histology findings. There were no complications. It was concluded that with an adequate fine needle biopsy technique, results correlate well with histopathologic study, with high sensitivity and specificity. This technique is easy to perform, with a low cost, and it may be considered as an useful tool in the study of patients with breast tumors.

[External version in pelvic presentation].

We made a prospective, population-based study of external version attempt in the department of obstetrics at Hospital, Clínica y Maternidad Conchita A.C. at Monterrey, N.L. 45 patients were enrolled with diagnosis of breech presentation. We tested the hypothesis to determined the average of success and how this procedure can reduce the primary C section rate. Of the 45 patients, 48.9% were primiparous, we had success in the external version in 27 patients (60%), 81.4% had vaginal delivery and 18.6% C section. During the study the incidence of primary C section in breech presentation shown low rates from 15.3% to 9.3%. We did'nt have complications in the procedure. With these results, we concluded that the attempt of external version is more safety and had less risks for the mother and fetus that breech delivery, and we can reduced the primary C section rate for this indication.
