THE ROLE OF ASPIRATION BIOPSY OF FOCAL LESIONS IN LUNG AND BONE BY SIMPLE NEEDLE AND FLUOROSCOPY

KEITH RABINOV M.D.1, HARVEY GOLDMAN M.D.1, HILDE ROSBASH 1, and MORRIS SIMON M.D.1

The method of percutaneous aspiration biopsy is described and discussed.

Results in 39 patients with thoracic lesions and 11 patients with skeletal lesions are shown. The clinical safety and value of the method are emphasized. The procedures are simple to perform and well accepted by patients. Correct diagnoses were made in 90 per cent of the patients with proved malignant lesions of the lung. Technical suggestions are made to further improve the diagnostic accuracy of the method.

The success of percutaneous aspiration biopsy procedures depends on a cooperative effort by the radiologist and pathologist and requires proper selection of patients, biopsy under fluoroscopic control, and provision for combined cytologic and histologic examination of the specimen.
