“…Closed pleural biopsy is less sensitive than cytology in malignant pleural effusions, even when both are repeated [64].When needle biopsy is compared with thoracoscopy, the superiority of this last technique is clear. In a prospective study involving 150 patients with malignant pleural effusion, BOUTIN et al [65] found a positive Abrams' needle biopsy in 36%, whereas thoracoscopy obtained the diagnosis in 87%.…”

“…The results of the major series reporting the sensitivity of pleural cytology are shown in table 2. [39][40][41][42] These sensitivities vary from 40% to 87%, with a mean of about 60%. Of 55 cases where malignancy was diagnosed on the basis of cytological examination, Garcia et al found 65% were established from the first specimen, a further 27% from the second, and only 5% from the third.…”

“…The yield compared with pleural fluid cytology alone is increased by only 7-27% for malignancy. [40][41][42] At least four samples need to be taken to optimise diagnostic accuracy, 67 and these should be taken from one site as dual biopsy sites do not increase positivity. 68 The biopsy specimens should be placed in 10% formaldehyde for histological examination and sterile saline for tuberculosis culture.…”

“…La repetición del análisis citológico aumenta la probabilidad de encontrar un resultado positivo cuando el DP es maligno, entre un 7% y un 55% (4,(9)(10)(11)(22)(23)(24)(25). En nuestra serie, la que dispone del mayor número de pacientes con citologías repetidas, este porcentaje fue del 28,6%.…”

“…lógicos sucesivos (de 7 a 55% para segundas citologías (9,10) y de 6 a 62% para terceras citologías) (10,11). Sin embargo, con referencia a este último dato se desconoce la influencia que puede tener el tiempo transcurrido entre la obtención de una y otra muestra de LP.…”
