Abstract
Tumours spreading within the chest are nowadays diagnosed based on computed tomography (CT). The aim of this paper is to present a few years experience in transthoracic fine needle aspiration biopsy of lung tumours and tumour-like lesions in adjacent tissues and organs during CT examination. To make an accurate diagnosis, the authors performed 124 TFNAB in 116 patients. About 2/3 of the biopsies were performed in patients with a tumour size from 1 to 5 cm in diameter, adjacent or located peripherally to the chest wall. The valuable cellular material, which enabled us to define a type of a disease and to make a final clinical diagnosis, was obtained in nearly 80% of cases. The complications were found in 10 patients (8.6% of all patients). Pneumothorax was found in eight cases and pulmonary bleeding (bleeding into pulmonary parenchyma and bleeding from respiratory duct) in two cases. The authors emphasized the significance of TFNAB in obtaining valuable material for fine spectrum study and discussed the problem of safety related to this procedure. (author)
