title: [Ultrasound-guided cytopuncture and hepatic microbiopsy in focal lesions of the liver. Apropos of 160 cases].
abstract: A retrospective study was carried out in 160 patients explored by ultrasound guided cytopuncture and hepatic microbiopsy for focal lesions of liver over a 5 1/2 year period. Results are analyzed as a function of clinical and ultrasound findings, the frequency of unexpected histology (20 cases) being emphasized and justifying the wide use of hepatic microbiopsy.
