ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To assess the usefulness of modified coaxial technique for percutaneous multiple core tissue biopsy of small lung and pleural lesion. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
The author retrospectively reviewed 37 cases of small (RESULTS:
Six core tissues of the lesion were obtained in 32 of the 37 cases, four cores in four and three cores in one. Histopathologic diagnosis was made in 35 (95 %) of the 37 cases, and the findings were as follows adeno-carcinoma(n=15), squamous cell carcinoma(n=1), small cell carcinoma(n=3), metastatic renal cell carcinoma(n=1), tuberculosis(n=7), hamartoma(n=4), cryptococcosis(n=1) and metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pleura(n=3). Hemoptysis was noted in two cases but subsided spontaneously. Pneumothorax occurred in two cases (5 %), and in one of these an 8.3 F catheter was inserted.CONCLUSION:
Modified coaxial technique under CT guidance for obtaining multiple core tissues of small lung and pleural lesion, with a single puncture of the pleura in one session of percutaneous biopsy, is useful for histopathologic diagnosis and the treatment of complications.
