The median size of the lesions was 7.8\u2009mm (range, 3\u201311\u2009mm). The lesions were diagnosed as image-pathology concordant benign by US-guided core biopsy. After ablation, we performed follow-up US with an interval of 3\u201312 months; the median follow-up period was 32 months (range, 30\u201336 months). We evaluated the morphologic and size changes by using serial follow-up US.\n                    <jats:bold>\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Results:<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:bold>\n                    US findings of the 13 cases followed within the first 6 months after ablation showed hypoechoic lesions having inner hyperechogenicity with or without a hypoechoic center. The size of these lesions during this period increased in comparison with the initial lesion size, and then decreased or became stable on serial follow-up US. On the last follow-up US examination, in 14 cases (73.6%), the lesions were invisible, 4 cases (21.1%) showed scar changes, and 1 case (5.3%) showed a hypoechoic remnant lesion.\n                    <jats:bold>\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Conclusions:<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:bold>\n                    US findings within 6 months after laser ablation showed mixed echoic lesions with increased size, followed by gradual decrease in size. Therefore, the success of laser ablation may be evaluated by checking the changes in the lesions by comparing the size of the lesions with the first follow-up US within 6 months and not the original tumor.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1089\/pho.2015.3932","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,30]],"date-time":"2015-07-30T14:52:41Z","timestamp":1438267961000},"page":"404-408","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Serial Ultrasound Findings After Laser Ablation for Benign Breast Lesions on Long-Term Follow-Up: Implications for Evaluation of Procedural Success"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"Bo Ra","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Kyungpook National University Hospital"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hye Jung","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kyungpook National University Medical Center"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kyung Min","family":"Shin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kyungpook National University Medical Center"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Seung Hyeon","family":"Cho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kyungpook National University Medical Center"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yun-Jin","family":"Jang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kyungpook National University Hospital"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hui Joong","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kyungpook National University Hospital"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Young Mi","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Inje University College of Medicine"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"So Mi","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kyungpook National University Medical Center"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ji Young","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kyungpook National University Hostpital"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ho Yong","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kyungpook National University Medical Center"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jin Hyang","family":"Jung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kyungpook National University Medical Center"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"73","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1524-4741.2009.00830.x","article-title":"Interstitial laser therapy of breast fibroadenomas with 6 and 8 year follow-up","volume":"16","author":"Dowlatshahi K","year":"2010","unstructured":"Dowlatshahi K, , Wadhwani S, , Alvarado R, et al.
