Image-guided core needle biopsy in the diagnosis of malignant lymphoma

Formulating a Treatment Plan in Suspected Lymphoma: Ultrasound‐Guided Core Needle Biopsy Versus Core Needle Biopsy and Fine‐Needle Aspiration of Peripheral Lymph Nodes

“…Our study demonstrated a greater yield of actionable diagnoses in patients with a history of lymphoma (82.4%-88.1%) as opposed to those without a known history (66.4%-68.2%), consistent with the literature. 7,10,13 In our comparison of CNB to CNB + FNA, we found that the mean age of patients undergoing CNB There is no correlation between the number of cores of obtained and the size of the targeted lymph node (r = 0.08). alone was older than that of those undergoing CNB + FNA.…”

“…Many of these studies have addressed whether image-guided biopsy performs adequately compared to excisional biopsy in the diagnosis and treatment of lymphoma. 4,[6][7][8] Fine-needle aspiration alone is clearly inadequate compared to excisional biopsy. 2,9 The success rate of CNB alone in yielding a clinically actionable diagnosis ranges from 67% to 100%.…”

Update in large cell lymphoma: understanding the pathology report

“…However, general themes are that close cooperation with hematopathologists, incorporation of ancillary testing, such as flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, and molecular studies, as well as larger size and greater number of cores, optimize diagnostic yield. [57][58][59][60][61][62] Fine-needle aspirate cytology should not be used for primary diagnosis of lymphoma. 63 …”
