[Ultrasound-controlled fine needle biopsy of pathologic space occupying lesions in the head and neck area].
We report 121 fine-needle aspiration biopsies of tumours and lymph nodes of the head and neck guided by ultrasound. The average minimal diameter of the lesions was 1.2 cm; the smallest lymph node was adjacent to the carotid artery and had a diameter of 0.4 cm. There were no complications. Of the cytological results 96% were confirmed by histology or by the subsequent clinical course.
