Comparison of tru-cut biopsy and fine-needle aspiration cytology in an experimental alcoholic liver disease model

Abstract: SUMMARY INTRODUCTION Liver biopsies such as tru-cut (sharp needle) and fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) are the most commonly preferred techniques to detect the grade and stage of certain liver diseases. In this study, we aimed to compare the efficiency of USG-guided tru-cut biopsy and fine-needle aspiration cytology in an experimental alcoholic liver disease model. METHODS Thirty-six female Wistar albino rats, 4-6 months old, and weighing from 190 to 250 g, were used in this study. The animals were … Show more

“…Liver biopsy is an essential procedure for the diagnosis and management of liver malignancies. One of the most reliable procedures is the core-biopsy using Trucut needle, it is superior to open biopsy as it is rapid easy and less traumatic [9,10,11,12]. However, in diagnosis of liver malignancies, hematoxylin and eosinstained tissue section alone does not provide sufficient information for reaching the definitive diagnosis and identification of the origin of tumor.…”

“…Moreover, owners of these patients often refuse these procedures to avoid their anesthetic risks, which then make the diagnosis inconclusive and specific treatment impossible. Ultrasound-guided fine-needle sample collection for cytology is used as a primary assessment of liver disease in human and veterinary patients because of its simplicity, speed, and low risk for complications [13][14][15][16] and remains the most commonly used staging technique for metastatic lymphoma [17]. Aspiration of the liver is recommended for the detection of lymphoma r egardless of its ultrasonographic appearance [18].…”
