Screening tests and national programs of early detection of breast cancer have been widely implemented worldwide, subsequently increasing the number of cases diagnosed in incipient stages, when the lesion has no clinical expression. In such cases a proper identification of the lesion is mandatory in order to achieve a radical result of the surgical procedure. Therefore, attention was focused on identifying the best imagistic methods regarding the accomplishment of an exact identification of the lesion which could further provide an adequate surgical resection and a proper oncological outcome and, in the meantime to provide the possibility of achieving a good cosmetic result. The aim of this paper is to study the role of indocyanine green as part of the therapeutic armamentarium which provides a correct identification of non-palpable breast lesions.
