“…16 In this regard, besides a potential risk of malignant tumor seeding, benign tumors such as pleomorphic adenomas can have problematic recurrences, which may not even be evident until many years after the initial surgery. Although Novoa et al 19 recently reviewed the safety of USCNB in the work-up of 438 head and neck lesions with 7 years of clinical follow-up and found no evidence of tumor cell seeding, further clinical investigation of tumor recurrence following USCNB is necessary in a large population during a long time course before the safety of USCNB can be verified and widely accepted.…”

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:Diagnostic test accuracy studies for ultrasonography-guided fine-needle aspiration and ultrasonography-guided core needle biopsy have shown inconclusive results due to their heterogenous study designs. Our aim was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography-guided fine-needle aspiration versus ultrasonography-guided core needle biopsy for detecting malignant tumors of the salivary gland and for the tissue-specific diagnosis of salivary gland tumors in a single tertiary hospital.

“…Novoa et al carried out a meta-analysis of the use of ultrasound-guided core biopsy in head and neck malignancies [68]. The sensitivity for the detection of malignancy in the thyroid was 68%, but a subgroup analysis of thyroid lymphoma was not performed.…”

“…All patients were diagnosed based on histologic examination of thyroid tissue specimens. Some researchers have suggested that fine-needle biopsy and core-needle biopsy with flow cytometry are useful and less invasive techniques (5,23). However, the more limited specimen obtained by core biopsy than by surgical excision biopsy is usually not representative of the entire tumor, particularly in the case of coexisting MALT and DLBCL histologies.…”

Background: Primary thyroid lymphoma (PTL) develops mostly in middle-aged and older females. However, the optimal treatment for elderly patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), which accounts for most PTL cases, is unclear. Rituximab is a promising drug that, in combination with traditional combination therapy, has demonstrated an increased antitumor effect without a substantial increase in toxicity. In this study, treatment outcomes of elderly patients with thyroid DLBCL who underwent rituximab-including combination therapy were analyzed. , and prednisolone 100 mg/body) and involved field irradiation were planned. Treatment outcomes of these patients were retrospectively reviewed. Results: Two patients terminated the treatment because of interstitial pneumonia during R-CHOP therapy. Only one patient showed treatment resistance and the regimen was changed; 42 patients (98%) responded to the treatment. Five-year overall survival and event-free survival were 87% (95% confidence interval [95% CI], 64-96%) and 74% (95% CI, 50-89%), respectively. Conclusion: The results of the present study indicate that rituximab-including combination therapy was effective for elderly patients with thyroid DLBCL. A multicenter, long-term observational study is needed to confirm this, and additional refinement of the treatment protocol is required to optimize the antitumor effect.

Role of ultrasound‐guided core‐needle biopsy in the assessment of head and neck lesions: A meta‐analysis and systematic review of the literature

Abstract: This meta-analysis confirms that CNB is an excellent method in the assessment of salivary gland lesions and lymphadenopathies inclusive of malignant lymphoma, but it is not ideal for evaluating thyroid lesions.
