Abstract:
Sixty CT-guided fine needle biopsies were performed on 59 patients. Of the 40 lesions in patients with a previous history of cancer, malignancy was confirmed by cytological examination in 27 cases and benignity in three cases. Of the 20 lesions in patients with no previous history of cancer, malignancy was confirmed in nine cases (45%) and benignity in five cases (25%). This precise and safe procedure shows 78% overall accuracy in this series.
