Diagnostic Percutaneous Opacification of Benign Pulmonary Lesions

James V. Zelch, Anthony F. Lalli

Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

The authors present 4 representative cases of benign pulmonary lesions accurately diagnosed by percutaneous aspiration and opacification. These conditions and others were encountered during needle biopsy for suspected malignant disease. The examiner must be prepared to inject contrast material when a fluid aspirate is obtained and should proceed with necessary studies even when a vascular lesion is encountered.
