RESUMO
Seventy-two patients with exudative ascites were subjected to percutaneous needle biopsy of peritoneum. The overall diagnostic yield was 64%, with the commonest finding being caseous granuloma (39%), followed by metastatic carcinoma (25%). The procedure was safe and easy to perform on the bed side. Peritoneal tissue was obtained in all cases, without any major complications.
