Thoracic fine needle aspiration biopsy versus fine needle cutting biopsy. A comparative study of 40 patients 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy findings were compared with the results of fine needle cutting (FNC) biopsy in 40 patients. The lesions (38 pulmonary nodules, 1 mediastinal mass and one lytic rib lesion) were biopsied with 22-gauge Greene and 21-gauge E-Z-EM needles through a 19-gauge needle guide. The FNA biopsy findings were based on smears and cell blocks of material obtained with the Greene needles while the FNC biopsy findings were based on tissue cores obtained by the E-Z-EM needles. In 83% of the cases, both techniques yielded specimens with similar cellularity; in seven cases, the FNA samples were more cellular. Malignancy was diagnosed in 80% of the patients: by both techniques in 26 patients, by FNA biopsy only in 5 patients and by FNC biopsy only in 1 patient. The sensitivity of FNA biopsy was higher than that of FNC biopsy (96.8% vs. 84.3%). The specificity and predictive value of positive results were 100% for both techniques. The predictive value of negative results was higher for FNA biopsy (88.8% vs. 54.5%). The majority of FNC biopsy tissue cores consisted mostly of clotted blood, lung tissue and/or fibrous tissue and did not facilitate or improve the diagnosis. Those data suggest that the contribution of FNC biopsy to the diagnosis of thoracic neoplasms is very limited and that the performance of FNC biopsy with an E-Z-EM needle in addition to or instead of FNA biopsy is not justified. 相似文献

Thyroid large needle aspiration biopsy is disregarded because it is thought to be associated with pain. This is in contrast with our 32 years long experience. We surveyed reports of pain in patients examined with fine needle aspiration biopsy (78, 87.2% women, mean age 59 years) or FNAB+large needle aspiration biopsy (48, 87.5% women, mean age 60 years). Each patient was questioned regarding a) no unpleasant sensation (score “0”); b) unpleasant sensation (“1”); c) mild pain (no analgesic used; “2”); or d) pain (analgesic used; “3”). The mean size of the needle used was for FNAB 22.3±0.7 or 20.8±1 gauge in the fine needle aspiration or fine needle aspiration plus large needle aspiration biopsy group, respectively (p<.0001). The number of percutaneous punctures was higher in the fine needle aspiration plus large needle aspiration biopsy group. However, the pain score in the fine needle aspiration biopsy or fine needle aspiration biopsy plus large needle aspiration biopsy group was not significantly different. Large needle aspiration biopsy after fine needle aspiration biopsy does not add any discomfort or pain and therefore in light of the demonstrable benefits, should be included in clinical algorithms for the evaluation of thyroid nodules. 相似文献

Biochemical analysis of tissue biopsy samples for evaluation of the phosphate compounds of metabolism has been limited to a large tissue sample size, and thus, repeated biopsies on the same animal or patient are too difficult to obtain. We report here the use of the Bessman analyzer: anion exchange chromatography followed by automatic phosphorus analysis on small tissue samples. The method described here enables the repetitive measurement of high-energy phosphate compounds (ATP, ADP, AMP, creatine phosphate (CP], inorganic phosphorus (Pi), sugar phosphorus (glucose 6-phosphate and fructose 6-phosphate), and inosine monophosphate (IMP), an indicator of adequate biopsy processing and sample preparation. The data also emphasize the importance of adequate oxygenation of the experimental animal or patient. This method is easy to apply in almost any clinically oriented research laboratory for the study of needle biopsies from human and animal tissues and permits a more convenient and complete investigation of the high-energy phosphate compounds of intermediary metabolism than do the methods of firefly luminescence or the multiple, NAD-linked enzymatic systems required for the necessary sensitivity. 相似文献

Lymph node examination by fine needle aspiration in patients with known or suspected malignancy 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In a series of more than 2,500 fine needle aspirates from multiple body sites, over 200 were clinically identified as lymph nodes from patients with known or suspected malignancy. The material was obtained using the easily manipulated Aspir-Gun with a 21-gauge or 22-gauge needle and syringe. Of the 200 lymph node specimens, 100 (50%) were cytologically reported as positive for malignancy. Ninety cases had surgical pathology specimens available for comparison with the fine needle aspiration (FNA) specimens. For the 88 of these cases with satisfactory FNA specimens, evaluation of the FNA results showed a predictive value of a positive result of 96.8%. These results compare favorably with those of surgical biopsy. The malignancies present in the lymph nodes included numerous adenocarcinomas from the breast, melanoma and pulmonary small-cell carcinoma. Six cases are briefly presented in which the FNA diagnosis was more problematic. While histologic examination of tissues or organs remains the desirable benchmark of comparison, the appropriate utilization of FNA cytology to guide therapy, particularly in a patient with previously diagnosed malignancy, may obviate the need for an open biopsy. The technique is convenient for patient and physician, useful for outpatients, relatively painless and provides good correlation between cytologic morphology and histopathology. 相似文献

The cytopathologic features of fine needle aspiration biopsy of two myofibroblastomas of the breast in men are described. The cytologic findings consisted of monomorphic spindle cells with ovoid, grooved nuclei, isolated or in clusters, with an ill-defined, short fascicular pattern and abundant acellular, myxoid-appearing material. Atypical features were absent. No epithelial elements were present. We emphasize the value of aspiration cytology in association with clinical and mammographic data to establish a definitive diagnosis of this uncommon entity. This benign tumor should be considered in pure spindle cell, nontypical fine needle aspiration biopsy specimens of breast masses with sharp demarcation from the surrounding tissue, especially in men. 相似文献

Forty-five percutaneous trephine lung biopsies using the Steel apparatus were performed on 38 patients. Tissue was obtained on 42 occasions (94%) leading to histological or culture diagnosis in 33 patients (87%). Pneumothoraces (12 patients), bleeding into the airways or pleural space (4 patients), and tumour seeding along the needle track (1 patient) occurred in 38% of biopsy attempts (45% of patients). In contrast to the Vim-Silverman technique, the Steel trephine appears to produce a higher tissue yield and superior specimens for histological study. Trephine lung biopsy is comparable to open lung biopsy in providing positive diagnoses. With anticipation and expeditious management of complications, trephine lung biopsy is both safe and useful in the diagnosis of pulmonary disease. 相似文献

Cytologic preparations and histologic specimens from 404 liver biopsies were reviewed. The cytologic specimens were prepared from the saline rinsings of the Klatskin biopsy needle. Malignant neoplasms were detected by both methods in 50 cases. In seven cases, neoplasms were diagnosed by cytologic techniques alone; in nine cases neoplasms were present in the biopsy only. No false-positive cytologic diagnoses of malignancy occurred. The results of this study show that cytologic examination of the rinsings of the biopsy needle is a sensitive and highly specific adjunct to biopsy in the detection of hepatic metastases. 相似文献

ObjectiveThyroid nodules are common, being detected in 19% to 67% of the population. A fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is recommended for suspicious thyroid nodules to rule out malignancy; however, the procedure can be painful for subsets of patients. It remains unclear what factors are more likely to be associated with pain during FNAB. This literature review aimed to investigate patient-, procedure-, and analgesic-related factors that affect pain levels during thyroid nodule FNAB.MethodsPredefined inclusion and exclusion criteria were set to search the Embase, MEDLINE, CINAHL, and Cochrane databases. The articles evaluating the factors affecting pain during FNAB were assessed for inclusion. The primary outcome of interest was scores evaluating pain level during FNAB.ResultsTwenty-two studies were included. The studies were a mix of cohort studies, randomized controlled trials, and clinical controlled trials. Under patient-related factor, nodule calcification was associated with increasing pain. The procedure-related factors potentially increasing pain included the number of needle passes and utilization of the aspiration technique (as opposed to capillary action), perpendicular needle placement (as opposed to parallel), and not using safety devices. Larger needle size, type of biopsy, operator expertise, and patient education did not appear to be correlated with pain. Subcutaneous lidocaine appeared to provide better pain relief than a topical analgesic.ConclusionWith increasing use of FNAB as the diagnostic test of choice for assessing thyroid nodules, understanding patient-, procedure-, and analgesic-related factors associated with optimal patient satisfaction is imperative. 相似文献

An ultrasound-guided transvaginal technique for corpus luteum biopsy was developed and tested in cattle. The biopsy needle set consisted of an inner needle (o.d. 1 mm) with a 20-mm long specimen notch, an outer cannula (o.d. 1.2 mm) with a cutting edge, and an automated spring-loaded handle with trigger. The biopsy needle set was inserted into the channel guide of the handle of a convex-array transvaginal ultrasound probe. The transducer was positioned in the vaginal fornix, and the ovary was manipulated transrectally against the vaginal wall and transducer face. During monitoring on the ultrasound screen, the inner needle was pushed through the vaginal wall into the corpus luteum, and the cutting cannula was fired, cutting and trapping luteal tissue in the specimen notch. Three luteal biopsies at each of Hours 0 and 4 were taken 10 d after ovulation in 6 heifers; 6 other heifers served as controls. A biopsy core was obtained in 36 of 39 attempts (92%). The tissue specimens seemed normal based on gross evaluation. The effect of biopsy on luteal function was assessed by daily ultrasound monitoring of luteal area, by assay of progesterone concentrations in blood samples obtained daily, and by the length of the interval from biopsy to ovulation. No significant differences were found for post-biopsy function for any of the 3 end points. The results indicated repeated transvaginal, ultrasound-guided biopsy of the corpus luteum in cattle is a practical procedure and may be useful for experimental and diagnostic purposes. 相似文献

Background
Predicting the prognosis of prostate cancer disease through gene expression analysis is receiving increasing interest. In many cases, such analyses are based on formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) core needle biopsy material on which Gleason grading for diagnosis has been conducted. Since each patient typically has multiple biopsy samples, and since Gleason grading is an operator dependent procedure known to be difficult, the impact of the operator''s choice of biopsy was evaluated.Methods
Multiple biopsy samples from 43 patients were evaluated using a previously reported gene signature of IGFBP3, F3 and VGLL3 with potential prognostic value in estimating overall survival at diagnosis of prostate cancer. A four multiplex one-step qRT-PCR test kit, designed and optimized for measuring the signature in FFPE core needle biopsy samples was used. Concordance of gene expression levels between primary and secondary Gleason tumor patterns, as well as benign tissue specimens, was analyzed.Results
The gene expression levels of IGFBP3 and F3 in prostate cancer epithelial cell-containing tissue representing the primary and secondary Gleason patterns were high and consistent, while the low expressed VGLL3 showed more variation in its expression levels.Conclusion
The assessment of IGFBP3 and F3 gene expression levels in prostate cancer tissue is independent of Gleason patterns, meaning that the impact of operator''s choice of biopsy is low. 相似文献11.
A microassay utilizing R 1881 (methyltrienolone) has been developed for the measurement of androgen receptor sites in the cytosol and nuclear extract of human prostatic tissue. Binding of R 1881 to the progesterone binding molecule in cytosol was eliminated by the addition of triamcinolone acetonide. Utilizing a six tube, single point assay, the number of binding sites estimated in nuclear extract averaged 95% of the number measured by a full 7 point Scatchard analysis; the number estimated by the microassay in cytosol averaged 91%. When the single point assay was applied to needle biopsy specimens (200 mg of tissue), the estimated number of binding sites in nuclei averageed 83% of the number measured in bulk tissue (2 grams) utilizing a 7 point Scatchard analysis; the number in cytosol estimated by the microassay on needle biopsy specimens averaged 73%. It is hoped that this technique may be useful in correlating receptor content with hormonal responsiveness in men with metastatic carcinoma of the prostate. 相似文献

A case of choriocarcinoma metastatic to the lung following a previous hydatidiform mole is presented. It was possible to make definitive identification of trophoblastic elements on a needle aspiration biopsy using an immunoperoxidase staining technique, thus avoiding diagnostic thoracotomy prior to therapeutic intervention. A method of immunoperoxidase staining of previously fixed and Papanicolaou-stained needle aspiration biopsy specimens is also described, and other uses of the immunoperoxidase technique on needle biopsy specimens are discussed. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Papillary carcinomas are rare malignant tumors of the kidney that sometimes are diagnosed preoperatively from their characteristic computed tomography appearance. CASE: A patient with papillary carcinoma of the kidney developed a selective and massive infarction of the neoplastic tissue after fine needle aspiration biopsy. CONCLUSION: Papillary carcinoma of the kidney should be added to the list of neoplasms prone to undergo ischemic infarction after fine needle aspiration. 相似文献

There are currently four needle biopsy methods for obtaining tissue from patients with possible diffuse liver disease or cancer. These include percutaneous blind needle biopsy, a visually guided needle biopsy at laparoscopy, guided fine-needle biopsies with ultrasonography or computed tomography, and the transvenous liver biopsy. We and others have found the guided fine-needle biopsy technique to be safe, relatively cheap, and highly accurate in the diagnosis of liver cancer. Blind percutaneous biopsy should be reserved for patients with possible diffuse, noncancerous, liver disease. Guided biopsies at laparoscopy can be done if the other two methods fail to give a tissue diagnosis. The transvenous approach is useful in patients with a coagulation disorder. 相似文献

A case of disseminated histoplasmosis diagnosed by percutaneous needle biopsy cytology is reported. The patient presented with fever and pancytopenia. Computed tomography (CT) revealed retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy. Cytology smears prepared from a CT-guided screw needle biopsy of one of the lymph nodes showed numerous histiocytes with intracytoplasmic yeast forms consistent with Histoplasma capsulatum. Fungal cultures prepared from additional needle biopsy material confirmed the diagnosis. This case illustrates the utility of needle biopsy in the evaluation of radiographically detected retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy and in the rapid diagnosis of infectious disease in certain clinical settings. 相似文献

A total of 4,241 aspirates from the breast were obtained by fine needle aspiration biopsy. Of the 3,809 benign lesions, 61 (1.6%) were interpreted as possibly malignant. In all, excisional biopsy, not mastectomy, was recommended as the next procedure. More than 50% of these misdiagnoses were from aspirates of fibrocystic disease, 15% were from fibroadenomas, and the remainder were from gynecomastia, solitary papillomas, periareolar hyperplasia, pregnancy hyperplasia and granulation tissue. Most errors were based on specimens that were insufficiently cellular or whose poorly preserved cells lacked the majority of the criteria of malignancy. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine the diagnostic value, reliability, safety and patient discomfort of testicular fine needle aspiration (FNA) as a cytologic sampling technique. All cases were divided into three groups: group A (control group), 15 patients with normal testes undergoing orchiectomy for prostatic carcinoma treatment; group B, 17 cases who had presented with oligoazoospermia for evaluation of male infertility; group C, 20 cases who had presented mainly with scrotal swelling with or without pain. The patients' ages ranged between 22 and 83 years. Older patients entered group A. Younger patients entered group B. A wide range in age occurred in group C. STUDY DESIGN: Fine needle aspirates from 98 testes in 52 patients, 46 bilaterally punctured, were assessed. RESULTS: All fine needle results on group A and most on B and C were correlated with histologic results of biopsy specimens. In 88.5% of cases an excellent correlation was found between the results of the two methods, and the cytologic diagnosis was absolutely precise. The specificity and sensitivity of the method were 100% in this series. CONCLUSION: The procedure was well tolerated, reliable and simple, with no serious complications. Testicular FNA is a useful and safe investigative modality in the evaluation of testicular function and disease. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Fine needle aspiration biopsy is a well-established method for dijfrrentiation of infective from neoplastic lesions. Varions infective agents, such as mycobacteria, leishmaniasis and microfaria can be diagnosed from aspirates, but there are few case reports on fungal infections in aspirates. Cytologic diagnosis of Aspergillus has occasionally occurred on sputum, pulmonary samples, vaginal secretions, endometrial washings and maxillary sinus specimens. One case of hepatic and subcutaneous masses was diagnosed as Aspergillus by fine needle aspiration and confirmed by culture and histology. CASES: Two cases of subcutaneous aspergillosis were diagnosed by fine needle aspiration and confirmed by culture and histology. CONCLUSION: Fine needle aspiration cytology is a rapid, sensitive and important method of diagnosing Aspergillus and provides a rapid diagnosis, which may be life saving in an immunocompromised patient. 相似文献
