We report the case of a 37‐year‐old man who underwent excision of small benign abdominal wall masses using a vacuum‐assisted biopsy device designed for breast biopsy (Mammotome®). To our knowledge, this is the first application of such a device to remove a soft tissue mass other than a breast lesion. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound, 2008
