Objective: We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and complication rates of computed tomography (CT)-guided core needle biopsy fine aspiration (FNAB). Materials Methods: Patients who underwent CT-guided lung mass were included. The patients evaluated in terms age, gender, lesion diameter, localization, depth mass, type procedure (core biopsies FNAB). Results: rate FNAB material was found ...

Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is a cheap and effective diagnostic procedure that can be applied directly or with imaging guidance. Complications are rare mostly insignificant. Here, we report but serious complication related to thyroid FNAB: hematoma pseudoaneurysm (PSA) was managed percutaneous US-guided thrombin injection.

AIM OF THE STUDY Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is the most accurate and cost-effective method to evaluate the risk of malignancy of thyroid nodules, but approximately 1-24% of FNABs generate a nondiagnostic result (ND-FNAB). The aim of this study was to determine the predictive factors of a repeated nondiagnostic result of FNAB. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 4018 FNABs performed in a...

Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the accuracy and usefulness fine needle aspiration biopsy(FNAB) in diagnosis parotid masses. Materials Methods: FNAB findings 123 patients who were operated over a last ten years period retrospectively analyzed compared with histopathological findings. We examined sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative (NPV) FNAB. Res...

PURPOSE The purpose was to compare the frequency of metastatic and nonmetastatic lymph nodes diagnosed by fine needle aspiration biopsy cytology (FNAC) and thyroglobulin concentration from fine needle aspiration biopsy washout fluid (FNAB-Tg) in an indeterminate range (0.2-100 ng/mL), and to evaluate the most appropriate threshold value of FNAB-Tg in an indeterminate range. MATERIALS AND METH...

OBJECTIVE To report the role of selective use of preoperative fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) in patients with major salivary gland lesions at a tertiary care cancer center. DESIGN Retrospective review of FNAB results compared with final histologic diagnosis as the criterion standard. SETTING An academic tertiary care cancer center. PATIENTS A consecutive series of 258 patients who u...

Objective Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is widely used in the management of salivary gland masses. Its main advantage is its ability to differentiate benign from malignant disease. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the diagnostic ability of FNAB in salivary gland masses. Methods The records of patients who had undergone FNAB before parotidectomy or submandibular gland excision betwee...

UNLABELLED Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is considered a safe, reliable and cost-effective means of selecting thyroid nodules with risk for malignancy. However, there are limitations of this method including false positive/negative and "nondiagnostic" results that may be reduced by repeating FNAB. OBJECTIVE To evaluate accuracy, sensitivity, specificity and costs of sequential FNAB in ...

INTRODUCTION Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is the cornerstone of thyroid nodule evaluation. In most cases, FNAB can discriminate between benign and malignant disease. In other cases, it is only indicative of malignancy and the results are considered "suspicious". In Denmark, thyroid FNAB results are categorised into six groups: "inadequate", "cystic", "inconclusive", "benign", "suspiciou...
