Abstract: (4550 Views)
Biopsies of thoracic lesions guidance. 22 of the 1 12 lesions were mediastinal and 83 were pleuroparenchymal.
A large-bore 14-gauge Tru-cut needle was used in all patients.
Adequate specimens for histologic examination were obtained in 98%. The
overall accuracy was 91 % with 9% false negative and no false positive
diagnoses. Despite the large size of the needle, the total number of
complications remained low ( 17%). Pneumothorax was detectable in 1 1.5%
of biopsies and hemoptysis in 2.6%. Tru-cut needle is suitable for biopsying
chest wall tumors, pleural based lesions, superior sulcus tumors, and
accessible mediastinal lesions. The instrument is useful not only for diagnosing
malignacy but also for determining specific malignant cell types and
diagnosing benign disorders.
