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.

FINE NEEDLE ASPIRATION BIOPSY IN CHILDREN

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Surgery, 1997
Background: Fine needle biopsy (FNB) in children has been slow to gain acceptance compared with the use of the technique in adults where it is regarded as standard clinical practice in screening significant lymphadenopathy and suspicious masses. We report our early experience with FNB in the paediatric population.

Fine-needle aspiration biopsy of colonic masses

Diagnostic Cytopathology, 1998
Between 1989 and 1996, fine-needle aspiration biopsy was performed in 22 patients with palpable colonic masses. In all of these patients colonoscopic examination was either not possible or could not be carried out successfully. The results of aspiration biopsy were confirmed by surgery and histopathological examination of the tissue.
