A Rare Complication of a CT-Guided Biopsy [PDF]
tomography (CT) was then performed which demonstrated increased metabolic activity limited to the peripheral mass. A CT-guided biopsy (see Figure 1) was performed with the pathology consistent with a poorly differentiated non-small cell lung cancer. The tumor increased in size from 2.3 1.9 cm on the CT-guided biopsy scan only 5 weeks later.
