Abstract

Objective To assess the clinical usefulness of CT-guided percutaneous biopsy for neck lesions. Methods CT-guided percutaneous biopsy was performed in 15 patients with neck lesions. The safety and effectiveness of the technique were evaluated. Results CT scanning confirmed that the biopsy needle was within the lesions in all 15 cases, and sufficient specimen for biopsy was obtained. The pathological results were identical to the clinical diagnosis in 13 cases. Conclusion CT-guided percutaneous biopsy of the neck lesion is a safe, reliable and minimally-invasive diagnostic technique.
