@tittokwithemily: Replying to @m0mento.mori8 Biopsy clips mark where cancer was. If it’s left behind after lumpectomy or mastectomy, it could mean residual tissue — and that matters #mammogram #breastcancer #cancertok #lumpectomy #mastectomy
my report didn't say anything about the clips and I had a double mastectomy. should I be concerned.

1 of my clip was not removed. I had to go back in for another surgery!! it was a pain but well worth it to get the known cancer removed.

I had 3 biopsies but one was benign, is that clip still there?

I had a punch biopsy and a clip was put in. Is it not suppose to still be in there?

I’ve heard the clip can migrate… is that true? If so, how would they know they got the proper spot?! (Not medical advice of course 😉)

I had a clip put in and it is permanent as it shows where exactly your tumour was so they can see it on further mamagrams I live in uk

Julie Crawford :
Not the clips left during biopsies that did not have a positive biopsy, correct? I have a couple in there from several biopsies after dcis and lumpectomy.

Working in surgical pathology we see this sometimes... if we don't see those clips we go get the specimen x-rayed if we still don't see it, it's put in the report in bold letters

I am a PA in pathology - our job is to dissect the tissue for the pathologist. We MUST find all clips in the specimen and dictate them in our report. You are correct. It should be in the report either in the gross description or final diagnosis.

what if there's a clip left but you have clear margins in the pathology report?

What about clip migration? Especially if it were a MR Bx. We seem to have a large percentage of our patients with migration. Depending on how far the clip migrated, it can be ok!

They left a heart shaped one I'm going to ask the hospital that left it will pay for the MRI needed. What are your thoughts do you think they might? They also left a high-risk lesion

Clips can migrate occasionally… But the protocol at our facility is the surgeon brings the specimen over while the patient is still on the table and I do a mammo pic on it so we can see the clips

I have a top hat clip - they said it was okay. The ultra sound tech said it was okay before the biopsy. She also has several clips in her breast. The radiologist had me having a lumpectomy after the mri and I was a nervous wreck

sauc444 :
I had a double mastectomy and biopsy of both breast. I just read my pathology report and it says that the clip was retrieved from my right breast, but I am not seeing it retrieved from my left. Now I do have to have my exchange surgery still so I guess they will get it then after I tell them of my concern.😳
