title: [Value of cytologic examination in diagnosis of focal lesions to the liver and pancreas].
abstract: Four hundred fifty three percutaneous fine-needle biopsies (FNB) guided ultrasonically of the focal lesions to the liver and 418 to the pancreas were subjected to retrospective analysis. Biopsies were performed with the aid of real time ultrasound equipment ALOKA SSD-280. The needles of 0.7 and 0.8 mm in outer diameter were used for the aspiration. Smears were fixed with alcohol and stained with hematoxylin and eosin, and examined under light microscope. Specimens suitable for the examination were obtained in 97% of liver biopsies and 90% of pancreatic biopsies. Sensitivity of FNB in the diagnosis of hepatic and pancreatic carcinoma was 97% and 91%, respectively. Its specificity was 100%. ENB efficiency in the diagnosis of the focal lesions to the liver was 98% and in case of the focal lesions to pancreas -95%.
