Title
Risk factors for perineal seeding of prostate cancer after needle biopsy [see comments]

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.

Title
Spontaneous seeding of medulloblastoma: results of cerebrospinal fluid cytology and arachnoid biopsy from the cisterna magna.

Neurosurgery, 1983 Mar, 12:3, 265-7
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.

Title
CT-guided stereotaxic biopsy of brain tumors: new technology for an old problem.

Source
Am J Clin Oncol, 1987 Aug, 10:4, 285-8
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.

Title
Extension of carcinoma of prostate along perineal needle biopsy tract.

Urology, 1986 Jun, 27:6, 548-9
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.

Title
Fine needle aspiration biopsy of suspected metastatic cancers to the posterior uvea.
Author

Wills Eye Hospital, Department of Ophthalmology, Jefferson Medical College, Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Trans Am Ophthalmol Soc, 1988, 86:, 499-560
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.

Title
Local control of prostate cancer with radiotherapy: frequency and prognostic significance of positive results of postirradiation prostate biopsy.

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.

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.

Title
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.
