    Triller, Nadja ...
    Background. Transthoracic needle aspiration biopsy of mediastinal lesions, peripheral pulmonary lesions, thoracic wall lesions and intrapleural lesions can be performed under ultrasonographic ... guidance. Our objective was to assess localisation of the lesions, sensitivity and safety of sonographycally guided needle aspiration biopsy. Methods. From January 1998 through Februry 2000, 21 patients with mediastinal lesions, thoracic wall lesions, peripheral pulmonarylesions and intrapleural lesions underwent sonographically guided needle aspiration biopsy. We compared citology with histology after surgical resection. Results. Ultrasound guided needle biopsy was performed in 42% of patients with mediastinal lesions, 29% with peripheral pulmonary lesions, 19% with thoracic wall lesions and 10% with pleural lesions. The diagnostic sensitivity of the needle aspiration biopsy under ultrasonographic guidance inmalignant lesions was 94.1%. We have not been satisfied with the diagnosis of the benign lesions. One patient had mild haemorrhage. Conclusions. Ultrasound guided needle biopsy of mediastinal lesions, peripheral pulmonary lesions, thoracic wall lesions and intrapleural lesions is safe, radiation free procedure. The diagnostic yield is high in malignant lesions but low in benign.
