[Fine-needle puncture and aspiration of pathologic lesions in the abdomen using ultrasound guidance].
The aim of this study was the echo-guided fine-needle aspiration puncture of abdominal lesions to be evaluated. 91 punctures of 85 patients with local lesions were performed. In 6 cases the puncture was repeated because of the lack of material for cytologic study just blood presence in the needle. In 47 cases with carcinoma or metastatic masses the puncture allowed aspiration of malignant cells. In 7 cases the puncture was therapeutic aspiration of pus collection and antibiotical application. The accuracy of this method was 92.9%, sensitivity 87.8% and specificity 96.1%. No significant complication to report occurred.
