title: [Fine-needle cyto-puncture. Apropos of 138 liver cytologies and 66 pancreas cytologies].
abstract: In this report, we examined the sensitivity and specificity of 138 hepatic and 66 pancreatic fine needle aspiration cytology. Aspiration cytodiagnosis was performed using a fine needle, percutaneously, with ultrasonic or tomodensitometric guidance. Sensitivity of hepatic and pancreatic aspiration cytodiagnosis was 86.73% et 83.3%; specificity was respectively 97.72% an 100%. These results are compared with literature review and confirm the interest of fine needle aspiration cytology in tumoral pathology.
