Since the last century, fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) procedure [
[1]
] has gone through several ups and downs. Introduced in 1930 by Martin and Ellis in
New York and unrecognized in the United States, FNAB quickly found its way to Europe.
Appreciated by European physicians, FNAB was welcomed as a rapid and cost-effective
procedure. Since then FNAB has remained as the first initial diagnostic procedure
in the evaluation of the majority of breast lesions in Europe [
