- 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.

- 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.

- 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

misadventure.
- Author

- 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.

- Abstract
- Aspiration biopsy cytology (ABC) was done on one hundred and
forty-five patients with cervical tumors, excluding primary tumors
of the thyroid and local metastasis of thyroid cancer, during the
period of 44 months from 1981-85. Surgery was done on a total of
fifty-five patients with lesions evaluated to be malignant and
requiring resection. A correlation was determined between the
histological diagnosis based on permanent paraffin sections and the
diagnosis made by aspiration biology cytology in order to evaluate
ABC in terms of accuracy together with its complications and
limitations. The false positive rate was 6.6 per cent and the false
negative rate was 8.3 per cent. Histologic diagnosis was predictable
by ABC in eighty per cent of cases, but difficulty was experienced
in predicting the histologic diagnosis in cases of a poorly
differentiated malignancy. A few cases of slight subcutaneous
bleeding occurred, but seeding implantation of cancer cells was nil.
It was confirmed that ABC is a highly diagnostic procedure for
assessing cervical tumors. The method is simple, safe and
economical.

- Abstract
- To evaluate the prognostic significance of post-irradiation biopsy
results in patients with prostatic cancer, we reviewed the records
of 803 patients who had been treated with pelvic lymph node
dissection, radioactive gold seed implantation and external beam
irradiation. Of the patients 124 had 1 or more biopsies within 6 to
36 months after completion of radiotherapy when there was no
evidence of local or distant recurrence of tumor. Patients were
followed for a mean of 64 months (range 14 to 175 months) and
received no other therapy before relapse. Over-all, 43 of these
patients (35 per cent) had a positive biopsy result. The incidence
of positive biopsy results correlated directly with the initial
stage of the tumor, ranging from 22 per cent of stage B1N to 50 per
cent of stage C1 lesions. However, biopsy results did not correlate
with the grade of the tumor. Local recurrence and distant metastases
were much more common among patients with a positive biopsy result
(p equals 0.0006). Local recurrence developed in 58 per cent of the
patients with a positive biopsy by 5 years and in 82 per cent by 10
years. Of those in whom all biopsies were negative only 18 per cent
had local recurrence by 5 years and 32 per cent by 10 years. Biopsy
results retained their prognostic significance even among the more
favorable subset of patients whose pelvic lymph nodes were negative
initially and those with a normal prostatic examination at biopsy.
These results indicate that a post-irradiation prostate biopsy 6 to
36 months after completion of treatment can be used to determine the
efficacy of a particular radiotherapeutic regimen as well as the
success or failure of radiotherapy in an individual patient.

- Urology, 1985 Feb, 25:2 Suppl, 39-46
- Abstract
- To determine the prognostic significance of a routine needle
biopsy of the prostate performed six to thirty-six months after the
completion of definitive radiotherapy, biopsy results were analyzed
in 146 patients who had no evidence of disease at the time of biopsy
and who received no other therapy before proved recurrence of the
tumor. Patients were followed up a mean of 3.9 years after
radioactive gold seed implantation and external beam irradiation.
The total dose was 8,000 rad. Among 146 patients, 56 (38%) had one
or more positive biopsy results within this time interval. The
positive biopsy rate correlated with the clinical stage ranging from
17 per cent in Stage B1N to 59 per cent in Stage C1. The risk of
developing local recurrence or distant metastases at any given time
after irradiation therapy was markedly greater in those patients
with a positive biopsy result (p less than 0.0005). Prostatic biopsy
is an accurate means of measuring the success of radiotherapy. A
positive postirradiation biopsy result carries grave prognostic
implications for the patient and indicates that the treatment has
failed.

- Abstract
- In a series of 22 patients treated with gamma knife surgery for
brain metastasis in whom biopsy specimens were obtained via
stereotactically guided procedures before the radiosurgical
treatment was administered, two cases with evidence of tumor seeding
were observed on subsequent follow-up examination. These findings
contradict the opinion that the risk for tumor spread after a biopsy
is negligible. This evidence may be explained by the fact that
radiosurgery leaves the surrounding tissue unaffected by the
treatment, which results in preserved anatomy around the tumor. This
allows the surgeon to define the previous biopsy channel and,
consequently, whether a distant tumor recurrence may have resulted
from tumor seeding related to the biopsy procedure. Additionally,
radiosurgical treatment leaves tumor cells that may have been spread
as a result of the biopsy unaffected, giving them the potential to
divide and develop into a new tumor. In contrast to this,
microsurgical removal of the tumor will affect the surrounding
tissue, making it impossible to detect whether new metastases are
resulting from seeding. Furthermore, conventional fractionated
radiation therapy will sterilize tumor cells that may have spread,
thus making it impossible for these cells to regrow. The authors
conclude that the risk for tumor seeding following a
stereotactically guided biopsy may be higher than previously
assumed.

- 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
- Stereotaxic biopsy was performed in 10 patients with tumors of the
pineal region. On the basis of intraoperative tissue diagnosis,
low-energy radioactive sources (125I) were implanted in seven
patients for interstitial irradiation during the same stereotaxic
procedure. Results were good in five cases. This therapeutic
modality appears to be indicated in cases of proven low-grade
malignancy, inasmuch as the implantation of radioactive sources in a
highly malignant lesion carries the risk of severe, often
irreversible, damage to the surrounding brain, because of possible
seed migration.

- Abstract
- Fine needle aspiration biopsy is a highly accurate cytologic
technique in the differentiation of benign vs. malignant disease.
After careful localization with the ultrasound beam, a 22 gauge 0.6
mm needle is used to obtain four to five cell samples. Seventy
percutaneous fine needle aspiration biopsies were performed on
pancreatic, liver, renal, chest, pelvic, pancreatic nodes,
subcutaneous nodules, and other retroperitoneal masses. Ninety-three
percent accuracy was obtained with no complications. Studies in four
patients with carcinoma of the tail of the pancreas were falsely
negative for malignant cells; all four patients had desmoplastic
tumors. Complications of hemorrhage, tumor seeding, infection,
fistula formation, and pain encountered with other methods and using
larger bore needles have not been found with the fine needle
technique. It is a safe, accurate method that can be performed as an
out-patient procedure.

- Abstract
- The purpose of this study was to investigate the occurrence of
tumor cell seeding in needle tracks following fine needle aspiration
biopsy of intraocular tumors. Sixteen biopsies were performed in
four enucleated globes (3 with retinoblastoma and 1 with choroidal
melanoma). The biopsies were done immediately after surgery and the
needle tracks from the pars plana region were serially sectioned for
histological examination. Clusters of tumor cells were seen within
six of the 11 needle tracks that could be histologically identified.

- Abstract
- An immunohistochemical method for the demonstration of S-100
protein was used to identify melanocytes in fourteen cases of
malignant melanoma subsequently excised after initial punch biopsy.
Although S-100 protein-containing cutaneous nerves and dermal
dendritic cells could be identified within the area of dermal
repair, there was no evidence of physical movement of atypical
melanocytes or nevus cells downward into the scarified area. This
study cannot confirm the concept that punch biopsy of melanoma
physically seeds atypical cells into the dermis.

- Abstract
- A rapid method for the establishment of short-term primary
cultures of human tumor cells obtained from fresh surgical biopsies
is described. The method consists of the separation of the viable
fraction of tumor cells by differential flotation on ficoll-hypaque
density solution and its subsequent seeding into culture flasks.
Tumor cell growth is established within 2-3 days. The incidence of
overgrowth with fibroblasts is apparently reduced and usually
delayed for 4-5 weeks, but cannot be prevented by this method.

- Abstract
- Intra-abdominal spread of tumor is a common cause of treatment
failure in patients with pancreatic cancer. We have reviewed 62
patients with pancreatic cancer undergoing repeat laparotomy in
order to learn what factors are associated with the high risk of
intra-abdominal metastases. Patients who underwent two or more
operative biopsy procedures were at a markedly increased risk of
developing intra-abdominal tumor seeding. These metastases were not
detectable by preoperative computed tomography scan or ultrasound.
This information affirms that multiple biopsies of pancreatic tumors
increase the risk of local disease failure, and regimens based on
nonoperative staging are likely to incorrectly minimize the extent
of tumor involvement.

- Abstract
- Fine needle aspiration biopsy was used as an investigational
procedure in the evaluation of 71 eyes harboring a suspected
intraocular malignancy between January 8, 1981, and January 21,
1983. Twenty-seven of these 71 biopsies were performed prior to any
treatment as a diagnostic procedure and the others were performed
following enucleation or tumor excision to provide specimens for
cytologic-histologic correlation. The histologic findings confirmed
the cytologic diagnosis of malignancy or benignancy in 94.3% of the
53 cases in which a corresponding tissue specimen was available for
histologic evaluation. None of the eight eyes with a cytologically
confirmed diagnosis of malignancy that were managed conservatively
following the biopsy has experienced visual loss attributable to the
biopsy. There have been no instances of documented needle tract
seeding by tumor cells or orbital tumor recurrence to date in the 27
cases in which diagnostic fine needle aspiration biopsy had been
performed prior to treatment.

- Abstract
- AIMS/BACKGROUND: We report the discovery of associated metastatic
subcutaneous and metastatic diaphragmatic nodules on the needle
track after fine-needle biopsy aspiration under echography, which
has not yet been reported in the literature. METHODS: A 35-year-old
man with non-replicating hepatitis B virus presented with a tumor
that suggested hepatocarcinoma with cirrhosis. A diagnostic needle
biopsy was carried out before surgery. Twelve months later, he
presented with a series of four continuous metastatic diaphragmatic
nodules on the inner wall lining the needle track. Surgery was
performed, followed by external radiation (40 Gy). CONCLUSIONS: The
risk of seeding following fine-needle biopsy aspiration of
hepatocellular carcinoma can no longer be considered negligable. The
real risk is probably underestimated. Even for biopsy of lesions
localized to the inferior part of the liver, diaphragmatic seeding
is possible. This seeding necessitates surgical resection,
increasing the therapeutic morbidity of hepatocellular carcinomas.
We believe that in cases where investigation of a small hepatic
tumor suggests a hepatocellular carcinoma that could be resected, or
for candidate patients for liver transplantation. one should not
puncture the tumor. If this diagnostic biopsy is essential, then the
needle track could be resected upon surgery, after cutaneous
external tattooing.

- Abstract
- Needle track seeding is a rare complication of percutaneous needle
biopsy which has become less frequent with the advent of the fine
needle. We describe one case of malignant cutaneous seeding
following fine needle aspiration of a peripherally based hepatic
metastasis from colonic carcinoma. This report underlines the need
to traverse normal adjacent liver parenchyma prior to entering a
peripherally-based metastatic deposit to reduce the likelihood of
malignant cutaneous seeding.

- 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
- Surface coverage with autogeneous endothelial cells is effective
in reducing thrombogenicity of an artificial vascular graft, but
procedure for obtaining the cells is invasive for patients. The
purpose of this study was to establish cultures of human endothelial
cells separated from a small piece of subcutaneous fat tissue. A
piece of tissue weighing about 10 mg was obtained from subcutaneous
fat using a biopsy needle, and treated with collagenase and dispase.
Microvascular endothelial cells were selected and other types of
cells contaminating the cultures were eliminated by scraping with a
needle under a microscope. The yield of the cells was 8362 +/-
4264/10 mg of subcutaneous fat (n = 7). The cultures reached
confluence in about 2 weeks. The cells were positive for von
Willebrand factor, P-selectin, and uptake of acetylated low density
lipoprotein. The cells produced 15.9 +/- 3.3 ng/mg cell protein/h of
6-ketoprostaglandin F1 alpha (n = 5) when stimulated with thrombin.
Thrombin also stimulated the production of platelet-activating
factor: 7653 +/- 4297 dpm/10(6) cells (n = 5). Endothelin-1
accumulation in the medium of unstimulated endothelial cells was
0.54 +/- 0.16 ng/mg cell protein/10 h (n = 8). As a preliminary
experiment for graft seeding, the cells were also cultured on pieces
of a gelatin-coated Dacron graft, and scanning electron microscopy
revealed the surface coverage of the graft. We herein described
about successful culture of human microvascular endothelial cells
from subcutaneous fat tissue obtained using a biopsy needle. The
cultured cells may be applicable to a seeded vascular graft.

- Abstract
- Fine-needle biopsy (FNB) is associated with problems, such as
tumor seeding, which are probably underestimated. The aim of this
study was to validate prospectively the accuracy of our diagnostic
work-up without FNB, for defining indications for surgery in a
cohort of patients with focal liver lesions (FLLs). Between January
1997 and December 1998, 160 consecutive patients carrying 225 FLLs
admitted to our department were evaluated prospectively.
Preoperative diagnoses were established by means of clinical
histories, serum tumor marker levels, ultrasonography, and spiral
computed tomography (CT). Angiography, magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI), and Lipiodol-CT were performed when it was considered
necessary to plan the surgical strategy. All the patients underwent
surgery and results of pathological examinations were obtained for
all of them. The preoperative diagnoses of 221 of the 225 lesions
(98.2%) were confirmed, and the indications for liver resection in
156 of the 160 patients (97.5%) were correct. The respective
accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative
predictive values were 99.6%, 100%, 98.9%, 99.3%, and 100% for
diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC); 99.1%, 100%, 98.8%,
96.9%, and 100% for metastases; 99.6%, 100%, 99.5%, 91%, and 100%
for cholangiocellular carcinomas (CCCs); all 100% for mixed HCC-CCCs;
and 98.7%, 57.1%, 100%, 100%, and 98.6% for benign tumors. In view
of these results, the fact that the real risks of FNB have yet to be
established and the possibility that tumor seeding has a major
impact on patient prognosis, the use of FNB should be drastically
limited.

- Abstract
- Early reports demonstrated the diagnostic advantage of large-core
(14-gauge) biopsy over fine-needle aspiration biopsy of nonpalpable
lesions of the breast without apparent significant increase in
morbidity. A case of malignant seeding of the needle track after a
large-core biopsy of a mucinous carcinoma of the breast is
documented. The potential for increased risk of tract seeding of
malignancy must be considered.

- 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
- OBJECTIVE: A case of embolic vascular seeding of endometrial
adenocarcinoma following hysteroscopy is reported. METHODS: This
phenomenon was recognized in the uterus specimen from a hysterectomy
performed 1 week after hysteroscopic endometrial biopsy. Tissue
processing artifact was excluded. RESULTS: Since the patient was
otherwise low risk, treatment was limited to hysterectomy. The
patient was not given adjuvant therapy. Two years later she remains
alive and well with no evidence of disease. The surgical,
morphologic, and clinical features of this case are presented and
illustrated. CONCLUSION: Previous reports of peritoneal tumor
seeding associated with hysteroscopy are reviewed. Tumor
embolization during hysteroscopic endometrial biopsy was not
followed by tumor recurrence in this case. Copyright 1999 Academic

- Abstract
- Percutaneous fine-needle aspiration biopsy is a commonly used
diagnostic procedure with a high accuracy and a low complication
rate. However, tumor seeding in the biopsy tracts has been recorded
with a frequency of one in 20,000-40,000 biopsies. We report 5 cases
of percutaneous tumor seeding recorded after 5,000 fine-needle
biopsies of abdominal malignancies at our institution. The risk of
implantation metastases induced by fine-needle biopsy warrants
consideration in patients with abdominal malignancies since it may
compromise the outcome of radical surgery. It should only be
performed when the result of the procedure has a direct impact on
the choice of therapy.

- Abstract
- AIM: The necessity and desirability of performing percutaneous
biopsy of potentially resectable liver tumours is called into
question. METHODS: Two cases are reported in which percutaneous
biopsy of resectable liver tumours was performed unnecessarily and
resulted in needle track seeding. RESULTS: In both instances
patients who underwent potentially curative liver resection were
rendered incurable because of biopsy track recurrence. CONCLUSION:
The common practice of performing percutaneous ultrasound or CT
guided biopsy of potentially resectable lesions in the liver is
generally neither necessary nor desirable.

- Abstract
- In response to an unexplained development of Pseudomonas cepacia
cystoprostatitis after transrectal ultrasound guided prostate
biopsy, a retrospective review of records and biopsy protocol was
performed at our institution. Between June 5, 1990 and January 9,
1991 no documented infections occurred in 272 patients undergoing
transrectal ultrasound and prostate biopsy. During the next 6
months, however, 9 of 110 patients (8.2%) presented again with
infectious symptomatology after transrectal ultrasound guided needle
biopsy of the prostate. Culture of a majority of the specimens (67%)
yielded P. cepacia. Two additional asymptomatic patients became
colonized with P. cepacia. Environmental investigations revealed the
ultrasound transmission gel as the source of the contamination. The
proposed mechanism of infection was direct prostate or bladder
seeding of contaminated transmission gel used to prepare the
ultrasound transducer probe. Infections developed in immunocompetent
patients despite adequate antimicrobial prophylaxis most likely
secondary to underlying bladder outlet obstruction and significant
direct inoculum of organisms. We currently recommend use of
individualized sterile packets of transmission gel in addition to
appropriate antimicrobial prophylaxis and povidone-iodine cleansing
enemas when performing transrectal sonographic guided biopsies of
the prostate.

- Abstract
- Presented is a case of a chest wall metastasis due to tumor
seeding along the needle tract from a percutaneous fine-needle
aspiration biopsy (FNAB) of a lung carcinoma. At thoracostomy, the
patient was found to have a chest wall lesion at the site of the
FNAB that had been performed 4 months earlier. This relatively
uncommon complication has been reported elsewhere, but its
significance with respect to the management of lung lesions
suspected to be malignant has not been defined. The authors maintain
that FNAB may not be indicated in select patients. The application
of this diagnostic modality should be considered individually on the
basis of the patient's operative risk as well as the risk for having
a primary lung carcinoma develop.

- 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
- Ultrasonically guided fine needle (21 gauge) aspiration biopsy (FNAB)
was performed on a patient with a hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)
measuring 1.5 x 1.5 cm in segment VI of the liver. The tumour was
located just beneath the liver surface. Subsegmentectomy of segment
VI was performed. Twelve months after the biopsy and 10 months after
the operation, levels of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and protein induced
by Vitamin K absence or antagonist-II (PIVKA-II) increased gradually
without any evidence of recurrence of HCC in the liver. Thirteen
months after the biopsy, the patient palpated a hard subcutaneous
nodule 1.5 cm in diameter in the right lower anterior chest wall at
the insertion site of the biopsy needle. A subcutaneous tumour was
excised and histological examination revealed moderately
differentiated HCC. The levels of AFP and PIVKA-II normalized
thereafter. These tumour markers were therefore useful for
diagnosing the subcutaneous nodule as a metastatic HCC. The patient
is currently doing well without further recurrence of HCC or
needle-tract seeding 23 months after subsegmentectomy and 11 months
after excision of the subcutaneous tumour.

- Abstract
- We evaluated the diagnostic usefulness of 244 ultrasound-guided
fine-needle biopsies (FNB) in 226 patients with suspected liver
malignancies. A malignancy was detected in 166 cases (73%) -145
hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC), 21 metastases; benign lesions were
aspirated in 60 cases (27%). The sensitivity of FNB was 93%, with
100% specificity. In the FNB false-negative cirrhotic nodules, a
final diagnosis of HCC was reached on repeating the biopsy 1-8
months later. When both cytological and microhistological
examinations were performed, the positive correlation between the
two techniques was 80%, with a slightly higher sensitivity for
microhistology (93%). The malignancies diagnosed were potentially
resectable in 26% of cases. We experienced 1 acute complication of
FNB and 1 case of needle tract tumour seeding. These results confirm
that FNB is useful in diagnosing malignant liver tumours. We believe
that US-guided FNB is the first-choice invasive technique for
assessing focal benign lesions and malignant tumors in the liver.

- 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
- A routine procedure has been developed for the isolation and
maintenance in culture of human ovarian carcinoma cells derived from
biopsy specimens. Cell attachment, plating efficiency and initial
outgrowth were greatly improved by seeding the cells on a
basement-membrane-like extracellular matrix (ECM) deposited by
cultured corneal endothelial cells. These effects were most
significant in serum-free conditions which markedly reduced the rate
of cell attachment and growth on regular tissue culture plastic. In
60-80% of the cases and regardless of the patient's age, cells
cultured on ECM in the absence of serum divided actively and formed
a tightly packed epithelial cell monolayer. Fibroblast overgrowth
and cell detachment often occurred on ECM in the presence of serum.
Incubation of the human ovarian carcinoma cells with sulfate-labelled
ECM, resulted in the release of heparan sulfate degradation
fragments, 4- to 7-fold smaller than intact heparan sulfate side
chains. This degradation was brought about by endoglycosidase (heparanase)
activity expressed to a higher extent by cells that were first
maintained in primary cultures as compared with cell aggregates
taken directly from the biopsy specimen. In most cases, cells
derived from metastatic tumors expressed a higher heparanase
activity than cells from the primary ovarian tumor. This result
corroborates previous studies, performed with cell lines, on the
possible involvement of heparanase in tumor cell invasion and
metastasis.

- Abstract
- OBJECTIVE: Our goal was to determine the sensitivity of CT-guided
closed pleural needle biopsy (CPNB) for the histopathologic
diagnosis of diffuse malignant pleural mesothelioma (DMPM).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty patients with DMPM were studied with
CT-guided CPNB. Tumor specimens were classified according to their
cell types. RESULTS: In 25 (83.3%) patients, the diagnosis was made
by CT-guided CPNB. The remaining five patients were diagnosed by
thoracoscopy, thoracotomy, or excisional biopsy of the chest wall
mass. Pneumothorax was observed in 9.5% of patients and local
seeding of tumor in 21.7% of patients who underwent CPNB.
CONCLUSION: Properly performed CPNB under CT guidance may yield an
increased sensitivity for the diagnosis of diffuse malignant pleural
mesothelioma.

- Abstract
- Implantation of malignant cells along the needle tract is an
extremely rare but potential complication following percutaneous
needle aspiration biopsy of malignant lesions. Percutaneous
fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) has recently received more
attention for cytologic diagnosis of bronchogenic carcinoma because
of its high diagnostic yield, simplicity, and low morbidity. On the
other hand, dissemination of cancer cells by needle aspiration
biopsy can change a potentially resectable localized lung cancer to
an unresectable one. We report two cases: one patient underwent FNAB
of a metastatic left adrenal mass that seeded a paraspinal muscle
implantation of malignant cells that subsequently developed a tumor
mass, and the second patient had tumor cell implantation in the
chest wall after FNAB of a pleural-based adenocarcinoma of the lung.
The theoretical and practical importance of tumor cell spread along
the needle tract is discussed. Because of its rare incidence,
however, this complication should not affect the use of needle
aspiration biopsy in bronchogenic carcinoma, although care should be
undertaken during the procedure.

- Abstract
- Cystic structures were seen in good numbers in biopsy suspensions
obtained from leprosy patients and kept at cooler temperature. The
structures were found arranged in singles, clusters or straight
lines. In clusters, small round structures were seen surrounding a
large spherical body. The small cystic bodies appeared empty, the
medium sized bodies showed fine particles while the large ones
showed spherules in and around them. It appears that the seed
structure of the cycle emerges from the large spherical bodies.

- 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.
