Abstract:
A technique for performing core biopsies of indeterminate masses of the extracranial head and neck is described. Four patients with suspicious masses of the extracranial head and neck underwent coaxial core biopsies through an 18-gauge Hawkins-Akins blunt tip needle. Three of the four patients had diagnostically adequate samples. There were no neurologic or vascular complications.
