Percutaneous aspiration lung biopsy.

D E Sanders, D W Thompson, B J Pudden

    Canadian Medical Association Journal
    |January 23, 1971
    PubMed
    Summary

    Percutaneous trans-thoracic aspiration biopsy is effective for malignant lung tumors, achieving 84% accuracy. Diagnostic yield decreases for non-malignant, non-parenchymal, and diffuse lung lesions.

    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonology
    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Percutaneous trans-thoracic aspiration biopsy (PTAB) is a minimally invasive diagnostic procedure.
    • Evaluating the diagnostic accuracy and limitations of PTAB is crucial for patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the diagnostic accuracy of PTAB for various thoracic lesions.
    • To determine the efficacy of PTAB in malignant versus non-malignant conditions.
    • To identify factors influencing the success rate of PTAB.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective review of 182 PTAB procedures in 164 patients over three years.
    • Analysis of diagnostic accuracy based on lesion type (malignant, non-malignant, parenchymal, non-parenchymal, mediastinal).

    Main Results:

    • An 84% diagnostic accuracy was achieved for malignant lung neoplasms.
    • Accuracy was lower for non-malignant localized parenchymal lesions, especially non-cystic/cavitary ones.
    • PTAB was less effective for chest wall, diaphragm, and diffuse parenchymal diseases.
    • Mediastinal masses showed intermediate results, with utility in suspected cysts.
    • Viable tumor cells for chemosensitivity testing can be obtained.

    Conclusions:

    • PTAB is a valuable tool for diagnosing malignant pulmonary nodules with low morbidity and no mortality.
    • Alternative biopsy methods may be superior for chest wall, diaphragm, and diffuse lung diseases.
    • PTAB can provide crucial diagnostic information for selected mediastinal lesions and enable chemosensitivity testing.
