- Abstract
- Between 1975 and 1986, 2,107 perineal prostate biopsies were
performed at our institution with 502 (23.8 per cent) positive for
prostate cancer. Among this group there were 5 cases (1.0 per cent)
of perineal seeding. These 5 cases along with a case referred to our
institution represent cases 14 to 19 in the literature. All 19 cases
are reviewed to elucidate risk factors for the development of
perineal seeding. Biopsy of large volume local tumors appears to be
the greatest risk factor associated with 18 of the 19 cases.
Technique of biopsy appears to be important in that removal of the
Tru-Cut sheath and obturator may expose the perineum to a greater
risk of seeding. Other factors discussed include histology, hormonal
responsiveness and radiotherapy technique. Distant metastases were
discovered simultaneously or within 16 months of the perineal
seeding in every case, and all patients died at a median of 36
months after initial diagnosis. Perineal seeding after prostatic
needle biopsy is uncommon but its occurrence suggests a poor
prognosis.

- Abstract
- Transthoracic needle biopsy is frequently performed for the
diagnosis of pulmonary and pleural disease. Seeding of malignant
cells is a potential complication but is extremely uncommon. We
report the second patient with malignant seeding after fine-needle
aspiration biopsy of a bronchogenic carcinoma. We also report a
patient with seeding of bronchogenic carcinoma after a pleural
biopsy. Because seeding is a rare complication, it does not affect
the indications for biopsy.

- Abstract
- Needle-tract seeding is a rare complication following percutaneous
fine-needle biopsy of intra-abdominal tumours and only a few cases
have been reported. Two cases of cutaneous implantation of a tumour
in the needle-tract after biopsy of pancreatic carcinomas are
presented. In experimental studies, seeding of malignant cells in
the needle-tracts is common and the discrepancy between experimental
and clinical findings is discussed.

- Abstract
- Five children with cerebellar medulloblastoma underwent
cytological study for neoplastic cells in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
from the lateral ventricle and cisterna magna and biopsy of the
arachnoid of the cisterna magna before the manipulation of a
medulloblastoma. In all cases, seeding of neoplastic cells was
present in the CSF or arachnoid of the cisterna magna, whereas the
ventricular fluid was negative for neoplastic cells. This study
suggests that medulloblastoma seeds spontaneously into the
subarachnoid space, thus supporting the need for postoperative whole
neuraxis radiation.

- Abstract
- On 63 patients, we used stereotaxic surgery combined with computer
tomographic (CT) technology, for reasonably safe and precise biopsy
of brain lesions. Histological confirmation was possible in 97% of
the cases. More recently, we have also been using the CT-guided
stereotaxic technique for brachytherapy, consisting of introduction
of an array of radioactive isotope seeds (192Ir). The after-loading
cannulas used for the isotope seeds are now also being used for
introduction of probes for localized hyperthermia of brain tumors.
CT-guided stereotaxic technique is proving to be a major
technological advance both diagnostically and therapeutically.

- Abstract
- Malignant seeding on the needle tract of a perineal prostatic
biopsy is a rare complication. A review of the literature revealed
only 7 cases. Herein another case is reported. Our patient, like all
other cases reported, suffered from high-grade, high-stage disease
and the perineal extension did not upstage his disease. We believe
that perineal seeding is a reflection of the malignant potential of
the prostatic malignancy and in no way detracts from the usefulness
of this tool in the diagnosis and staging of the disease.

- Abstract
- This thesis presents the author's experience with diagnostic
intraocular fine needle aspiration biopsy in 18 patients with a
suspected metastatic choroidal or ciliary body tumor. The author has
reviewed the literature on biopsy of intraocular tumors and has
specified what he believes to be valid indications for diagnostic
biopsy of posterior uveal tumors. He has evaluated the accuracy,
limitations, and complications of diagnostic fine needle aspiration
biopsy in this series and others, and he has suggested methods for
improving the recovery of sufficient cells for cytologic diagnosis
and lessening the risks of tumor cell seeding during the biopsy. The
author has concluded that fine needle aspiration biopsy appears to
be a relatively safe, generally reliable means of establishing the
pathologic diagnosis of a choroidal or ciliary body tumor in highly
selected patients suspected of having metastatic cancer. In spite of
its apparent safety and reliability, however, the author has
cautioned against the routine use of fine needle aspiration biopsy
in patients with posterior uveal tumors since its long-term safety
has not been established. The author has suggested that diagnostic
fine needle aspiration biopsy of posterior uveal tumors be performed
only in medical centers where there can be input from and
cooperation among ophthalmologists, ophthalmic pathologists, and
cytopathologists who are experienced in the diagnosis of intraocular
malignancies.

- 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
- A 53-year-old man with small-cell lung carcinoma underwent bone
marrow aspirations and biopsies for tumor staging and harvest for
autologous bone marrow infusion. Fourteen months after bone marrow
aspiration and biopsy, a subcutaneous lesion grew over the posterior
iliac crest, and a biopsy specimen disclosed small-cell carcinoma.
To our knowledge, this is the first case report of tumor seeding
associated with bone marrow aspirate and biopsy.

- Abstract
- This report describes the complications following 10,766
ultrasonically guided fine-needle biopsies performed from 1979 to
1987 in 33 Italian echographic units. The mortality was 0.018%: the
two reported deaths were due to hemoperitoneum and occurred in
patients with hepatocellular carcinoma arising in a cirrhotic liver.
Twenty patients (0.18%) had major complications. This series
confirms that abdominal biopsy with fine needles is safe, even
though our death rate was higher than in previous reports. Among the
other nine fatalities following fine-needle abdominal biopsy
reported in the literature, seven were secondary to hemorrhage. The
biopsy of pancreatic carcinoma was more dangerous for needle-tract
seeding (five of eight reported cases, including one in our series).

- 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
- A Riechert Mundinger stereotaxic device was modified to enable
artifact-free computed tomographic (CT) scanning with the
stereotaxic frame attached to the patient's head. A localization
system was developed allowing determination of the XYZ coordinates
of the target point directly from the CT cut. Angiography was
performed intraoperatively with the stereotaxic frame attached.
Coronal and sagittal CT reconstructions were enlarged to the
radiographic magnification to allow direct comparison with
angiography. CT offered optimum localization of the target, whereas
angiography determined the safest approach. Computer programs were
developed to enable three-dimensional radiotherapy planning. 125I
seeds were implanted for treatment of low-grade gliomas and solid
craniopharyngiomas. Yttrium-90 was applied in cystic
craniopharyngiomas. Intracavitary rhenium-186 application was
abandoned because of frequent cyst recurrence and leakage from the
cyst.

- Abstract
- In more than 80% of tumor cells in the pericardiac effusion of a
case of malignant B-cell lymphoma, Epstein-Barr virus-determined
nuclear antigen (EBNA) was detected by the anticomplement
immunofluorescence test. Moreover, herpestype virus particles,
although few in number, were demonstrated in the nucleus of lymphoma
cells by an electron microscope. Tumor cells in the pericardiac
effusion were seeded at 98% purity after centrifugation on
Ficoll-Conray and, soon after plating, they proliferated
continuously without any lag phase of growth or cell death.
Therefore, the established cell line was regarded as of tumor cell
origin and named Fujimaki-II cell after patient's name. On the other
hand, Fujimaki-I cells were established from the biopsied tumor in
the same way. These two cell lines, B-lymphocyte in nature, had both
EB virus-related antigens and herpes-types virus particles.
Heterotransplantation of cultured cells and tumor tissue obtained at
autopsy into athymic nude mice was not successful. Transformation of
cord blood lymphocytes by the virus released from Fujimaki-II cell
also failed. This might be the first case of non-Burkitt type
lymphoma in which the EB virus genome was directly detected in the
tumor cells.

- Abstract
- Biopsies from retina and/or choroid were performed through a
transvitreal approach in 14 patients during the 2-year period
1984-1986. A 20-gauge fine needle was used. The transvitreal
approach was chosen because exact location of the biopsy could be
documented by video recording and/or by photography. The needle was
guided either by a stereotactic micromanipulator or by hand.
Immediately after biopsy laser burns were placed around the biopsy
hole. Light microscopical and, in selected cases, transmission
electron microscopical examination of the material obtained showed
malignant melanoma, choroidal haemorrhage, leukaemic infiltration of
the choroid, intraretinal fibrosis in detached retina, atrophic
retina after vasculitis and malignant lymphoma of the uvea. More
than 2 years after biopsy, no retinal detachment due to the biopsy
or any tumour-seeding has been observed. Two cases of vitreous
haemorrhage cleared spontaneously. No visual impairment was related
to the biopsies.

- Abstract
- A rare complication of fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNA) is
needle tract seeding. Peritoneal seeding from FNA in the clinical
setting is rarely reported. To our knowledge, this is the first case
of peritoneal seeding of a neuroendocrine carcinoid tumor as a
result of FNA. Peritoneal contamination and tumor seeding can occur
with FNA and they probably do occur more often than is recognized
clinically. Therefore, we caution against the use of FNA in the
assessment of potentially curable intra-abdominal tumors, and
recommend that this technique be used only when a cytological
diagnosis is required before initiation of palliative therapy.

- Abstract
- A 56-year-old man who presented with backache, anemia, and renal
insufficiency had an unsuccessful bone marrow biopsy from the right
posterior iliac crest. A diagnosis of multiple myeloma was
subsequently made on the basis of a sternal bone marrow aspiration
and the presence of serum IgD/lambda monoclonal gammopathy with free
lambda light chain. Since the time of iliac crest biopsy, the
patient experienced persistent pain and progressive swelling at the
biopsy site. Nine months later he was readmitted for a possible
right gluteal abscess. A biopsy specimen disclosed an intramuscular
infiltration by atypical plasma cells with positive findings for
lambda light chain. This is the first reported case of needle tract
seeding after bone marrow biopsy in multiple myeloma.

- Abstract
- A historical overview of the origins of the thin needle aspiration
biopsy is given. Current applications of this technique to palpable
lesions and lesions requiring various forms of imaging techniques
are briefly summarized. The principal advantages of this method of
diagnosis are its rapidity, versatility, and applicability to
patients with palpable lesions as an office procedure. The procedure
is nearly painless, hence readily accepted, and often shortens the
anxious wait for a diagnosis. In competent hands, given an adequate
sample, the diagnosis can be rendered with an accuracy approaching
that of a frozen section. In many instances of intrathoracic and
intraabdominal space-occupying lesions, exploratory thoracotomies
and laparotomies can be avoided, thus reducing significantly the
time of hospitalization. The procedure is safe. Seeding of cancer
along the needle track has been reported in a few instances, but the
risk of this event must be considered extremely low. Thin needle
biopsy may offer the patient an opportunity to participate in
therapeutic decisions, for example, in women with breast cancer.
Finally, the aspirated sample offers a number of research options
that may lead to a better assessment of prognostic parameters and
response to treatment in cancer.

- Abstract
- Three patients with infratemporal fossa carcinomas presented with
severe, unrelenting facial pain, weight loss, and 5th cranial nerve
deficit. Erosion of the base of the skull at the foramen ovale was
present in two of these patients. Histologic diagnosis of
infratemporal fossa malignancy was obtained by needle biopsy of the
foramen ovale region; the technique is described. This approach to
the infratemporal fossa is preferred to the more complicated
external surgical approach with its greater risk of morbidity.
Surgical approaches to the infratemporal fossa are also reviewed.
Two of the patients were treated with radiotherapy; the third
refused further therapy. Supravoltage radiotherapy with curative
intent is the recommended treatment because of the difficulty of an
en bloc tumor resection in the infratemporal fossa. Radioactive gold
seeds may be implanted through an external surgical approach to
boost the local dose.

- Ultrasonically guided needle biopsy and cytologic diagnosis of
solid intraocular tumors.

- Abstract
- Six solid intraocular tumors were reliably diagnosed by needle
biopsies and cytologic examination of the aspirates. All of the
tumors had an unusual clinical or diagnostic feature that raised the
possibility of a non-melanomatous tumor. Two intraocular lesions
that were obscured by opaque media or a retinal detachment were
successfully biopsied under B-scan ultrasonographic guidance of the
needle. Cytodiagnosis of narrow spindle B, plump spindle B, and
eipthelioid cell types, as well as one case of Coats' disease, was
possible and correlated closely with the predominant cell types
comprising the lesions discovered on histopathologic examination of
the globes that were enucleated. The ocular tissues were not
significantly disturbed and hemorrhage was not a serious problem.
Details of the biopsy and cytologic techniques, the major clinical
indications, for the procedure, and the authors' belief that the
procedure is not likely to produce local seeding or extraocular
metastasis in cases of melanoma are presented and discussed.
Considerable profit may attend the use of this technique for the
diagnosis of possible metastatic lesions and tumors of the ciliary
body. The technique, however, should not be routinely employed and
should be restricted to extremely difficult diagnostic problems.

- Abstract
- A method using Multiplanar CT-guided stereotactic biopsy and
high-dose 125I interstitial radiotherapy in patients with malignant
nonresectable or recurrent brain tumors is presented. Optimal
interstitial radiotherapy requires careful preoperative planning,
computer-assisted dosimetry, CT-guided stereotactic biopsy and
implantation of catheters that will be loaded with 125I seeds. A
method is presented by which the isodose curve distribution is
adjusted to the tumor size, volume and axis, allowing treatment of
the imaged and histologically determined border of the tumor with 60
Gy at a dose rate of 40 rad/h.

- Abstract
- We have treated 77 patients for clinically early stage carcinoma
of the prostate, 9 stage A2, 63 stage B and 5 stage C, with direct
implantation of 125I seeds into the prostate and pelvic
lymphadenectomy. It is estimated that a minimum dose of 15,000 rad
but a maximum dose of 35,000 rad is delivered to the prostate over
several months. Of the 77 patients 14 (18 per cent) had metastatic
disease in the pelvic lymph nodes. In 22 cases perineal needle
biopsy was done 12 to 18 months after treatment and in 3 cases a
second biopsy was performed after 2 to 3 years. Persistent tumor was
present in 11 biopsies. Cytological changes were observed in 8 of
these, primarily cytoplasmic vacuolation and nuclear pyknosis. There
seemed to be no relationship between grade and stage of disease and
histological evidence of persistence of tumor after radiation. One
patient with persistent tumor in the postoperative biopsy has shown
progression of disease after 2 years and another with a negative
biopsy has a bony metastasis. The remaining 10 patients with
persistent tumor have shown no sign of progression of disease during
a 2 to 4-year interval.

- Abstract
- Fine-needle aspiration biopsy is an established technique for
cytodiagnosis of malignant neoplasms, yielding a high rate of
positive tissue with negligible local sequelae. The authors report
the first instance known to them of needle tract seeding following
this biopsy technique in a patient with an unresectable pancreatic
carcinoma. Because of the rarity of this occurrence, the procedural
indications remain unaltered.

- The parotid lump--don't biopsy it! An approach to avoiding
misadventure.

- Postgrad Med, 1987 Mar, 81:4, 225-9, 232-4
- Abstract
- All lumps in the parotid region must be assumed to originate in
the parotid gland. A mobile, superficial-appearing lesion cannot be
assumed to be located just beneath the skin. Open incisional biopsy
should never be used in approaching lumps in this region because of
the danger of tumor seeding or damage to the facial nerve. The
presence of a parotid lump is a definite indication for referral.
Treatment by a head and neck surgeon is always done with the patient
under general anesthesia. If these basic principles are followed,
recurrence of mixed tumors often can be prevented.
