title: [Application of cut needle biopsy in the diagnosis of submucosal type of nasopharyngeal neoplasms].
abstract: Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of cut needle biopsy in the diagnosis of submucosal nasopharyngeal neoplasms.Methods:Cut needle biopsy performed with automatic biopsy gun was applied in 17 cases with submucosal type of nasopharyngeal neoplasms.The bleeding quantity was recorded and the pain was measured by score.Results:Adequate biopsy sample for hispathological diagnosis was received from each of the 17 patients. And the hispathological diagnosis were consistent with the follow-up visit. The bleeding quantity ranged from 1 to 5 ml ((1.9±0.3)ml). The scores of numerical rating scale were between 2-7 (4.0±0.4). There were no serious complications such as hemorrhea. There were 3 patients of inflammation in pathological diagnosis. And These 3 patients had no tumor during the follow-up( from 6 to 33 months). There were 12 patients of undifferentiated cancer. Among the 12 patients, there were five newly diagnosed patients and seven recurrent patients. There were 2 patients of lymphoma.Conclusion:Cut needle biopsy has the advantages of minimal trauma, shorter operative time, less bleeding, light pain, and no serious complications. It is simple, safe, and worth of application clinically.
