Transthoracic fine-needle aspiration biopsy. A histologically verified material
Acta Pathologica Et Microbiologica Scandinavica. Section A, Pathology
|March 1, 1977
Abstract:
A material consisting of 227 histological verified transthoracic fine-needle aspiration biopsies is presented. The result of the first biopsy attempt gave a diagnostic sensitivity with regards to malignancy of 77 per cent and a diagnostic specificity of 98 per cent. The method is recommended in cases where conventional preoperative diagnostic procedures fail to reveal the nature of the lung lesion.
