[Cytobiopsy as the best present method of intraoperative diagnosis of tumors of the pancreas].
A report has been made over six years experience with a fine needle aspiration biopsy, from authors who have developed a cytological intraoperative quick diagnosis of pancreas tumours. 116 patients have been treated up to this time. This method has proved to be important for the diagnosis of small pancreas tumours, while especially in such cases the indication to pancreas resection is used only in case of malignant tumours. In relation to other normal histological freezer microtome, the cytological method of fine needle biopsy has the advantage of being completely without complication. One can make as many punctures as needed and exactly this is what assues accurate diagnosis. In 90 cases with certain diagnosis, 65 correct conclusions and 12 suspect conclusions of tumour were obtained, and only five cases were erroneously judged negative; in eight cases the poor material did not allow a diagnosis. Therefore, wide application of cytobiopsy can be recommended.
