Subclavian lymph node, pleural and pulmonary biopsy in the diagnosis of intra-thoracic disease.
It is axiomatic that enlightened treatment must wait on precise diagnosis. Only in recent years, however, has this principle been fully applied in intra-thoracic lesions. The universal employment of radiology has led to a considerable increase in the range of diagnostic possibilities, and we have been forced to abandon what in the ' good old days' were comfortable pigeon holes in which to place...
متن کاملCombined ultrasound-guided cutting-needle biopsy and standard pleural biopsy for diagnosis of malignant pleural effusions
BACKGROUND The most efficient approach to diagnose malignant pleural effusions (MPEs) is still controversial and uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate the utility of a combined approach using ultrasound (US)-guided cutting-needle biopsy (CNB) and standard pleural biopsy (SPB) for diagnosing MPE. METHODS Pleural effusions were collected from 172 patients for biochemical and microbiological a...
متن کاملPleural effusion: Role of pleural fluid cytology, adenosine deaminase level, and pleural biopsy in diagnosis
OBJECTIVE The present study is designed to evaluate the role of pleural fluid analysis in diagnosing pleural diseases and to study the advantages and disadvantages of thoracocentasis and pleural biopsy. MATERIALS AND METHODS We prospectively included 66 consecutive indoor patients over a duration of 1 year. Pleural fluid was collected and cytological smears were made from the fluid. Plural bi...
متن کاملThoracic ultrasound-assisted selection for pleural biopsy with Abrams needle.
BACKGROUND Closed pleural biopsy (CPB) in patients with malignant pleural effusion is less sensitive than cytology. Ultrasound-assisted CPB allows biopsies to be performed in the lower thoracic parietal pleura, where secondary spread from pleural metastases is initially more likely to be found. We analyzed whether choosing the point of entry for CPB with thoracic ultrasound assistance influence...
متن کاملThoracic ultrasound in the diagnosis of malignant pleural effusion.
BACKGROUND Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is a common clinical problem with described investigation pathways. While thoracic ultrasound (TUS) has been shown to be accurate in pleural fluid detection, its use in the diagnosis of malignant pleural disease has not been assessed. A study was undertaken to assess the diagnostic accuracy of TUS in differentiating malignant and benign pleural diseas...
