- Abstract
- Several months (an average of 12.86 months) after perineal
needling of the cancerous prostate for the purpose of
obtaining tissue for biopsy, a tumor nodule becomes
clinically evident in the subcutaneous tissue of the
perineum, at the site of the needling in 0.34% of the cases.
This nodule presents the same histological picture as the
biopsy of the prostatic tumor. This is a review of 15 such
cases (12 collected from the literature and an additional
three unpublished cases, two of which are personal
observations). At the time of needling, no metastases could
be clinically detected in any of the patients; the serum
acid phosphatase was normal in 73% of them. The average age
of the patients was 65.66 years. The perineal nodule was
tender in 40% of the cases; its average size was 2.5 cm.
Excision of the nodule was the most frequently employed form
of management. At the time of reporting, 60% of the patients
were living and well, for an average of 18.56 months after
excision. In order to prevent perineal implantation,
especially in patients who are at risk, it is suggested that
a fine needle be employed to obtain prostatic tissue for
biopsy, and that every possible therapeutic effort be made.

- Abstract
- Seeding of tumour in the needle track following
percutaneous needle biopsy of liver neoplasms is rarely
reported. We describe two such cases following the needle
biopsy of an hepatocellular carcinoma and secondary
colorectal carcinoma respectively. The risk of needle track
recurrence of liver tumours should not be regarded as
insignificant. The diagnosis of liver neoplasms may be
achieved by non-invasive modalities, and their needle biopsy
should be reserved for cases not amenable to surgical
resection.

- Abstract
- Since 1970 fine-needle aspiration cytology for breast
tumours has grown in popularity and is now routinely used in
the initial diagnosis of palpable breast masses in the
United States and other parts of the world. Fast staining
methods of the aspirate enables reporting within 10 minutes
of the aspirate being performed. Training and experience is
important in obtaining satisfactory smears for diagnosis,
and pitfalls are false-negative and false-positive findings,
which may have dire consequences for the patient if
cytological diagnosis is the final arbiter. Conditions such
as benign mammary dysplasia and sclerosing adenosis are the
most common sources of highly cellular smears and often show
marked atypia, which makes distinction from carcinoma
difficult. Also, atypical papillary formations present a
diagnostic problem, and biopsy is indicated to exclude a
papillary carcinoma. Fine-needle aspirations very seldom
cause traumatic complications, and these are usually of a
minor degree. Seeding along the needle track has occurred,
but in most cases with a larger-caliber (18 s.e.g.) needle.
Aspiration itself has been shown to have no effect on the
survival rates in breast carcinoma. Contemporary reports
show that around 90% of cases of breast cancer can be
detected with confidence by means of this procedure. The
reduction in scar formation facilitates future evaluation of
the patient as scar tissue often interferes with the
interpretation of mammograms. Cost effectiveness is evident
in terms of decreased use of anaesthetics and operating time
and a reduction in the use of frozen section histology by
about 80%.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

- Abstract
- To determine whether the increasing use of percutaneous
fine-needle biopsy of abdominal lesions is associated with
an increase in serious complications, the author updated a
literature search and evaluated a questionnaire (distributed
among selected hospitals in the United States in 1986 and
1987) that followed up a questionnaire distributed in 1983.
The updated literature review revealed a total of 24 deaths
and 20 needle tract seedings. The updated questionnaire
revealed five deaths after 16,381 biopsies (0.031%), whereas
the previous questionnaire had shown four deaths after
63,108 biopsies (0.006%). Two similar European
questionnaires revealed mortality rates of 0.008% and
0.018%, respectively. Of the total of 33 deaths, 21 involved
biopsies of liver lesions; six involved pancreatic biopsies.
Seventeen of the 21 deaths after liver biopsies were
secondary to hemorrhage; five of the six deaths after
pancreatic biopsies were due to pancreatitis. Of the 23
instances of needle tract seeding, 10 occurred after
biopsies of pancreatic malignancies. The frequencies of
needle tract seeding in the four questionnaires were 0.005%,
0.006%, 0.003%, and 0.009%, respectively. Although
infrequent, serious complications may be associated with
this procedure. The author makes suggestions that may help
minimize them.

- Abstract
- Percutaneous biopsy of intraabdominal masses is a safe and
accurate means of obtaining a tissue diagnosis without
surgical exploration. It is often sufficient to determine
treatment plans and in many instances, obviates the need for
surgery. Percutaneous biopsy of renal masses has
traditionally had a limited role in the United States.
However, with a recent increase in the detection of small
renal masses because of the widespread use of abdominal
computed tomography (CT), there is an increasing role for
percutaneous biopsy in the management of renal masses.
Percutaneous biopsy of renal masses is indicated to
differentiate between a primary renal cell carcinoma and
metastatic disease in patients with a known extrarenal
primary. Percutaneous biopsy is also indicated to establish
a diagnosis of renal lymphoma and abscess. Complications of
percutaneous biopsy include bleeding, pneumothorax, and
tumor seeding along the needle tract; fortunately, these
complications are uncommon. We will review the indications,
techniques, complications, sensitivity, and accuracy of CT
and ultrasound-guided biopsy of renal masses. Urologists and
radiologists should both be familiar with the indications
and contraindications of percutaneous biopsy to insure the
appropriate management of renal masses.

- Abstract
- The arguments for a choice between a large or fine needle
in the diagnosis of tumors are still unclear. This paper
reviews the advantages and disadvantages of large-needle
biopsy and fine needle aspiration. Reports indicate that
although the procedures have the same diagnostic efficacy,
the risk of tumor seeding is far higher following
large-needle biopsy. For this reason it should be avoided
for the diagnosis of cancer. The risk of tumor seeding after
fine needle aspiration may be reduced by performance through
a cover of normal parenchyma, by maintaining suction during
withdrawal of the needle and by examining samples for
quality during the procedure.

- Abstract
- Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is the diagnostic
procedure of choice for evaluation of liver lesions.
Although primarily applied to malignant disease, it is also
used in the evaluation of benign conditions. Improvements in
imaging techniques and advances in cytologic
interpretations, as well as production of new biopsy
needles, have all contributed to the rapid increase in
radiologically guided liver FNAB.

- Abstract
- When noninvasive techniques fail to confirm or rule out
the suspicion of a malignant lesion, fine needle aspiration
biopsy may provide an efficient, economical and relatively
safe method of obtaining material for cytological study. The
technique may also be valuable for intraoperative
morphological evaluation. Traumatic complications produced
by fine (21-25 gauge) needles are infrequent and almost
never serious, and concerns about tumor seeding through the
procedure have been largely dispelled by recent studies.
Reliable results require a high level of skill in performing
the aspiration procedure and in cytologically examining the
small amount of material obtained. The authors review the
history, applications, techniques and complications of fine
needle aspiration biopsy, presenting guidelines for and
illustrations of its use in specific ophthalmic situations.

- Abstract
- Biopsy is an integral part of the overall management of
patients with soft-tissue sarcoma. The types of biopsy are
fine needle, trocar, open incision or en bloc excision.
There are advantages and disadvantages of each. Open biopsy
requires strict adherence to a number of surgical
principles. Proper execution requires determination of
appropriate biopsy site, meticulous technique, and close
collaboration with an experienced pathologist. Failure to
adhere to these principles may result in untoward
consequences for patients.

prostate cancer?

- Abstract
- The goal of radiation therapy is to deliver a high dose to
the tumor while preserving normal surrounding tissue. For
early-stage prostate cancer, the ultimate conformal
irradiation is to place radioactive sources directly into
the gland either as permanent or temporary seeds. Permanent
seed implantation is capable of delivering two times the
radiobiologically equivalent dose of external beam
irradiation to the prostate and tumor. In the past, the
results of prostate brachytherapy were likely poor owing to
the technical difficulty in accurately placing the
radioactive seeds uniformly throughout the prostate. The use
of low-dose-rate I-125 to treat high-grade cancers probably
also contributed to the poorer results as compared with
external beam irradiation. Over the last 10 years, however,
technologic advances in transrectal ultrasonography,
computer dosimetry, and template-based transperineal
techniques have dramatically improved the accuracy and
consistency of the brachytherapist to place radioactive
sources directly into the prostate gland. Transperineal
ultrasound or CT directed seed implantation has replaced the
older retropubic method. Brachytherapists are now able to
accurately map out the gland prior to the implant and
carefully evaluate preoperatively seed placement. The
availability of such radioactive sources as iodine-125,
palladium-103, and iridium-192 has also given the
brachytherapist isotopes that can be more carefully matched
to the biology and stage of the tumor. More sensitive
definitions of failure have prompted radiation oncologists
and urologists to carefully evaluate the efficacy of
external beam irradiation and surgery. Accurate comparison
of the efficacy of brachytherapy to surgery and to external
beam radiation requires a randomized study. Comparisons of
retrospective studies are fraught with the problems of the
heterogeneous nature of early-stage prostate cancer.
Imbalances in stage, grade, initial PSA extraprostatic
disease, and nodal status of patient groups make comparisons
difficult. Most of the long-term data for permanent seed
implantation are the result of work at a single institution.
These results will need to be repeated at other institutions
treating patients in a similar manner. Because techniques
vary from institution to institution, permanent implant
results will need to be carefully evaluated for technique as
well as stratified for pretreatment variables. Pretreatment
PSA and grade appear to be more sensitive variables than
stage in predicting failure after radiation. As more
patients are diagnosed with very early and nonpalpable
disease, future studies will need to stratify patients based
on these pretreatment factors. Patients with early-stage
disease but identified as high risk for extraprostatic
disease will require more intensive regimens. The treatment
outcomes based on biopsy results are inconclusive. A lack of
consensus on the definition of a truly positive biopsy
remains forthcoming. The value of a positive prostate biopsy
as an outcome predictor for clinical failure is still
unclear. The use of prostate nuclear cell antigen staining
may help clarify the issue. Comparison of treatment outcome
based on absolute PSA is also difficult. The Seattle series
suggest that brachytherapy by permanent seed implantation is
as efficacious as external beam irradiation for early-stage
disease in patients with a low PSA (< 10 ng/mL). As the
PSA value rises above 10 ng/mL, the probability of failure
after external beam rises substantially. Results from the
Seattle series suggest an advantage to seed implant alone or
the judicious application of seed implant boost to external
beam radiation for these patients with more advanced cancer.
The most sensitive measurement of therapeutic outcome is
progression-free survival. Few studies to date have
evaluated progression-free survival.

- Abstract
- The best available data indicate that, although it is
imperfect, the postirradiation biopsy performed at a
sufficient interval after radiotherapy can provide accurate
prognostic information useful in the determination of the
success or failure of radiotherapy in an individual patient
as well as the measurement of overall efficacy of any
particular radiotherapeutic regimen. Needle biopsy of the
prostate was performed routinely in 510 patients with
clinical stage A2, B, or C1 prostate cancer treated with a
combination of radioactive gold seed implantation and
external-beam irradiation. Of the 140 patients who had one
or more needle biopsies performed 6-36 months after
completion of radiotherapy, who had no evidence of local
recurrence or distant metastases at the time of biopsy, and
who had received no hormonal therapy before documented
recurrence of the tumor, 45 (32%) had one or more biopsies
positive for cancer. The frequency of positive biopsy
results correlated significantly with the size of the local
tumor but not with the grade. The correlation between biopsy
results and the eventual development of recurrence was
highly significant. If any biopsy was positive, 60% of the
patients eventually developed local recurrence; if all
biopsies were negative, only 19% developed local recurrence
during the period of follow-up. The poor prognosis
associated with a positive biopsy result was found within
almost every subset of stage, grade, or nodal status
examined although the results varied because of the small
number of patients in some groups.

- Abstract
- Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) and ultrasound-guided
core biopsy using biopty gun both have a high, and
approximately equal, accuracy in diagnosing and grading
prostate cancer. The TRUS-guided technique provides a better
estimation of the tumor extent and to some degree even of
capsular involvement. It is therefore a recommendable part
of the preoperative evaluation when radical prostatectomy is
contemplated. On the other hand, the aspiration technique
usually provides more epithelial cells. It entails a
significantly lower risk of septic complications and of
seeding tumor cells. It has also a lower cost than the core
biopsies. The aspiration biopsy can easily be performed
repeatedly in the follow-up procedure, which is of
particular importance in cases managed with watchful
waiting. We recommend the aspiration biopsy for routine use
in the diagnostic work-up and follow-up. It is essential
that not only the cytologic evaluation but as well the
sampling from the prostate is performed with adequate
expertise.

- Abstract
- The prostate gland is being biopsied increasingly
frequently, especially as a result of the visualisation of
suspect areas on transrectal ultrasonography, using a
variety of different needle types. We report only the third
case of tumour seedling in the tract following a
transperineal biopsy of a prostatic cancer with a 'Tru-Cut'
needle. The literature is reviewed with regard to the
characteristics and the incidence of seedling and the
importance of including the perineum in any treatment option
is emphasized.

- Abstract
- Metastasis along the needle track (NTM) after a
transthoracic needle biopsy (TNB) is considered a very rare
complication. A survey of the membership of the Society of
Thoracic Radiology and a review of the English-language
literature were conducted to assess the incidence of this
complication and its predisposing factors and natural
history. A questionnaire was sent to all radiology
departments in the United States and Canada that had a
senior member of the Society of Thoracic Radiology. The
total number of TNB between 1978 and 1993 and occurrences of
NTM were elicited. If an NTM was encountered, information on
the size of the nodule, proximity to the pleura, histology,
size of the biopsy needle, and the interval between biopsy
and NTM and outcome of the patient was elicited. The
incidence of NTM was estimated using binomial proportions.
Results of the literature survey were tabulated to provide
similar information. One hundred sixty-five questionnaires
were mailed and 75 responses were received. Approximately
68,346 TNB were reported. Five departments reported a total
of eight NTM, resulting in an incidence of 0.012%. The
average interval between TNB and NTM was 2.6 months. There
were no predictable risk factors. The outcome was known in
only 11 patients; 4 patients died by the time of reporting
(2 after 14 months and 1 each after 6 and 9 months). From
the results of this survey, the incidence of NTM after TNB
is approximately 0.012%. This small risk is random and
unavoidable.

salivary gland.

- Abstract
- Tumours of the deep lobe of the parotid gland may
present as a swelling in the oropharynx. They are uncommon
when compared with those of the superficial lobe, are
frequently misdiagnosed and subjected to per-oral biopsy
which is hazardous and predisposes to seeding of the
tumour. Investigation and diagnosis are discussed with
particular reference to the role of computed tomography.
The surgical approach to these inaccessible tumours is
illustrated by reference to patients treated.
Modifications to the technique of Cooke and Ranger (1969)
for excision of parapharyngeal tumours are suggested,
which are applicable to tumours of the deep lobe extending
medial to the mandible and presenting in the side wall of
the pharynx.

- Abstract
- A 36-year-old man with overgrowth of Staphylococcus
aureus in the small bowel underwent a biopsy of the small
bowel and presented 5 weeks later with multiple liver
abscesses. To our knowledge, small bowel biopsy has never
been associated with liver abscesses. We discuss the
literature on liver abscesses in patients with AIDS and
the risks of bacteremia following upper endoscopy and
small bowel biopsy and propose that the etiology of the
liver abscesses in our patient was seeding of the portal
vein following biopsy of a small bowel that had
significant bacterial overgrowth.

- Abstract
- All the reported experience indicates that laparoscopic
staging of tumours provides additional information to the
preoperative work-up. Its diagnostic yield is enhanced by
contact ultrasonography. Staging laparoscopy may avoid
needless laparotomy and permits palliative surgical
treatment, bypass and resection. The major controversy
concerns laparoscopic ablative procedure for potentially
curative cancer in view of the potential but unproved risk
of tumour dissemination and inadequate resection. Until
further information becomes available from experimental
investigations and centralized clinical studies,
laparoscopic curative resections should not be performed
routinely. Laparoscopic or retroperitoneoscopic
lymphadenectomy appears to be useful by documenting node
positive disease. Laparoscopic hepatic cryotherapy with
insulated needle probes has the potential for control of
secondary hepatic disease not amenable to surgical
resection.

- Abstract
- An 80-year-old male developed ascites as the first
indication of an adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal
junction. Laparoscopy was performed during the diagnostic
study of the ascites and, 7 days later at the point of
introduction of the laparoscope, a metastasis developed in
skin and subcutaneous cellular tissue. This is the third
case of subcutaneous neoplastic implantation following
laparoscopy to appear in the literature. The two
previously described cases dealt with patients with
ovarian adenocarcinoma. The literature reporting cases of
tumor dissemination following technical procedures is
reviewed.

- Abstract
- Recent developments have permitted accurate seed
placement and dosimetry for interstitial brachytherapy of
selected patients with localized prostate cancer. We
present our experience with 76 patients divided into 2
groups. Group 1 included 45 patients with smaller, more
well differentiated tumors, usually less than 2 cm. in
diameter on digital rectal examination or transrectal
ultrasound and a Gleason score of less than 7 who were
treated with 125iodine alone. Group 2 consisted of 31
patients with localized tumors greater than 2 cm. in
diameter and/or a Gleason sum equal to or greater than 7
who were treated with low dose external beam radiation
followed by 125iodine boost 4 weeks later. Complete
clinical progression-free survival, including prostate
specific antigen, digital rectal examination and biopsy,
was 51% for group 1 and 63.3% for group 2, with a mean
followup of 26.3 months. Prostate specific antigen
progression-free survival was 97.7% for group 1 and 94.7%
for group 2. These results appear to be superior to
external beam radiation only although longer followup is
needed to substantiate these favorable early results. The
procedures were well tolerated with good potency sparing.
They were performed on an outpatient or short stay basis
and provided a good alternative to external beam radiation
only or hormonal treatment for select patients with
localized prostate cancer who may not be candidates for
radical prostatectomy.
