Abstract:
This review is based on 5300 needle biopsies. Complications and their precaution are discussed. Pneumothorax seldom has to be treated. Hemoptysis and small local bleeding are of no clinical significance. Tumor cell spread and air embolism may occur but extremely rarely. Indications, contraindications equipment, and biopsy technique are treated. A recent technical improvement in needle biopsy is described.
