“…Over a period of two years (June 2004 through July 2006), our staff performed 185 ultrasound-guided needle biopsies: 164 involved soft-tissue lesions (primary, metastatic, or recurrent) [4] and the remaining 21 involved lesions originating in the bone and extending into the adjacent soft tissues.…”

KEYWORDSUltrasound-guided needle biopsy; Soft-tissue tumors; Musculoskeletal sonography.Abstract Soft-tissue tumors are not very common, but their diagnosis can be very difficult. In the final analysis, their diagnosis requires a biopsy, which must furnish a sufficient amount of material to allow a reliable histological diagnosis. The authors evaluated the diagnostic efficacy of ultrasound-guided needle biopsy in the diagnosis of soft-tissue tumors of the musculoskeletal system. The aim of the study was to optimize the biopsy procedure, with particular emphasis on the choice of the biopsy needle (large-gauge manual versus semiautomatic) based on the characteristics of the neoplastic mass (consistency, depth, size, location). The results of the study showed that appropriate needle selection significantly reduced the frequency of biopsies that were insufficient for histological diagnosis. The method proved to be highly reliable for diagnosis of soft-tissue tumors but strongly related to the proper selection of the needle to be used.Sommario I tumori delle parti molli, pur essendo neoplasie poco frequenti, pongono notevoli difficoltà di diagnosi che viene affidata, in ultima analisi, al prelievo bioptico, che deve fornire materiale sufficiente per una corretta diagnosi istologica.Gli autori hanno voluto verificare l'efficacia diagnostica dell'agobiopsia ecoguidata nei tumori delle parti molli dell'apparato muscolo-scheletrico per ricercare l'ottimizzazione della procedura, in particolare, per quello che riguarda l'ago bioptico, da scegliere a seconda delle caratteristiche della massa neoplastica (consistenza, profondità, dimensioni, sede).La revisione della casistica ha evidenziato come la scelta accurata dell'ago bioptico (ago manuale grosso calibro, ago semiautomatico) ha consentito una significativa riduzione dei casi con prelievo di materiale insufficiente per una corretta diagnosi istologica.La casistica ha evidenziato l'agobiopsia ecoguidata come metodica altamente affidabile per la diagnosi di lesioni delle parti molli, ma fortemente legata alla scelta accurata della tipologia dell'ago impiegato. ª

“…1c, d) in several cases, it is still difficult to identify the malignant part of the tumour as a region of interest. According to the published results of accuracy in image guided core needle biopsy [5,6,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] (range from 68% to 97%), at our centre a CT guided core needle biopsy was leading to sampling error three times. Comparing the percentage of sampling errors at our tumour centre in 2.3% (7=299) with the percentage of sampling errors at referring institutions in 8.5% (5=59) our data shows, that we can definitely reduce poor outcome by performing biopsies at tumour centre [22].…”

Sonographically guided core needle biopsy of soft tissue neoplasms

Abstract: US-guided percutaneous core needle biopsy of soft tissue neoplasms is an easy, safe, and useful procedure. It can be considered a first-line procedure for the acquisition of tissue specimens adequate for histopathologic diagnosis.
