title: [Pulmonary biopsy using thoracoscopy].
abstract: Pulmonary biopsies were taken under thoracoscopy from 16 patients presenting with insoluble diagnostic problems. This method enabled the authors to make a diagnosis, which was not contradicted by the course of the disease, in 14 cases of diffuse or circumscribed pathology touching the lung cortex. There was no major incident.
