ABSTRACT
With the progress of computed tomography (CT), the detection of small pulmonary nodules has been increased. The conventional diagnostic modalities for tissue confirmation, such as bronchoscopic biopsy or transthoracic needle biopsy, may not be successful in some cases. Too small a nodule or the nodules located far from the pleural surface can be marked and localized with device preoperatively and then this tissue can be obtained surgically. CT-guided hook wire fixation is useful in marking pulmonary nodules and there are few complications with this procedure. We report here on a case of double primary lung cancer that was diagnosed by percutaneous localization with using a hook wire
