Fine needle aspiration biopsy and the otolaryngologist

The Journal of Laryngology & Otology, 1987
SummaryA survey of the diagnostic value of fine needle aspiration cytology in ENT practice was carried out over a 3-year period. The 119 aspirates were taken from a variety of head and neck sites and examined by an experienced cytopathologist. Cytology was accurate in 111 (93 per cent), with two false negative aspirates (1.7 per cent) and no false ...

Percutaneous fine needle biopsy in pediatrics

Pediatric Radiology, 1985
We performed 25 percutaneous fine needle biopsies (PFNB) on pediatric patients during a 3-year period. Of 17 patients with proven malignancies, PFNB was true positive in 16 and false negative in one. In nine patients with benign or inflammatory disorders, there were three true positives and six false negatives.

Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy of the Liver

Advances in Anatomic Pathology, 1999
The liver is a commonly targeted deep-seated organ in which fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is performed. By far, the most frequently encountered lesions on FNAB of the liver are metastases; however, a wide variety of other lesions have been described and are likely to be encountered.

Transvaginal Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy

Acta Cytologica, 2001
To assess the role of transvaginal fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) in the evaluation of palpable gynecologic masses.Transvaginal FNABs from 1994 to 1999 were identified from the files of Barnes-Jewish Hospital. Histologic correlation was obtained using the Pathology Department's computer database.

Inaccuracy of Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy

Ophthalmology, 1985
Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) of orbital tumors has been recently advocated as a reliable diagnostic modality. An accuracy rate of 92% has been claimed by some authors. This figure remains unproven as most patients have not undergone simultaneous pathologic examination.

Orbital Fine-Needle Aspiration Biopsy

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1985
Fine-needle aspiration was used as a primary orbital diagnostic technique in 156 patients. A 20-mm syringe, a 22-gauge, 3.75-cm needle, and a plastic pistol grip were used. Local anesthetic was not necessary. When the needle is in the lesion, small to-and-fro movements with a minimum of angulation are helpful.

Pediatric Fine-Needle Aspiration Biopsy

American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1991
A total of 135 fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsies from varying sites were performed in 123 children (mean, 10.5 years; range, one day to 18 years) over a five-year period. One hundred thirty (96.3%) biopsy specimens were satisfactory for evaluation. Seventy-nine cases were nonneoplastic (60.8%); among these cases, a specific diagnosis of infectious ...

Risk in fine‐needle abdominal biopsy

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, 1983
AbstractThe complications of fine‐needle abdominal biopsy (FNAB) in 11, 700 patients from our own series and from a review of the literature are reported. The mortality rate (one case of necrotizing pancreatitis) was 0.008%, the rate of major complications (two cases of biliary peritonitis, two tumor seeding, one intrahepatic hematoma, and one ...
