Material has been introduced to support the use of needle aspiration of dominant breast masses as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool. Experience with approximately 3,000 successful aspirations of simple breast cysts is presented.

No evidence of decreased survival was found in patients in whom carcinoma was proved after an unsuccessful aspiration attempt. The technique of needle aspiration of breast masses is included. Routine excision of simple breast cysts is condemned.
