Tru-cut/core biopsy versus FNAC: Pulmonary tumors

Abstract: Primary lung epithelial malignancies are the most common neoplasms among all pulmonary tumors. Lung cancer (LC) is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality for which a histologic or cytologic confirmation of malignancy is required before treatment. Specimen management is an important task for pathologists in the field of LC. Biopsy and fine needle aspiration are comparable. It is desirable to have both for diagnosis and mutation testing to maximize their use for patient care.

“…Lung cancer is a leading cause of mortality worldwide, regardless of any gender predilection. The most common type of lung cancer is adenocarcinoma (ADC), with subtypes lepidic, acinar, papillary, micropapillary and solid ADC [1][2][3]. Seventy percent of the lesions diagnosed at the time of presentation are irresectable and at an advanced stage [1,3].…”

“…The most common type of lung cancer is adenocarcinoma (ADC), with subtypes lepidic, acinar, papillary, micropapillary and solid ADC [1][2][3]. Seventy percent of the lesions diagnosed at the time of presentation are irresectable and at an advanced stage [1,3]. Although computerized tomography (CT), utilizing a low dose and a high resolution, aids in the easy and early diagnosis of pulmonary lesions, but neoplastic lung lesions require further work-up to reach a definitive diagnosis.…”

“…A biopsy with a thoracic ultrasound guide as a guide can be performed without the need for a special room and equipment that can be easily carried to the patient's bedside. In this context, thoracic ultrasound is aspired to be an alternative as a guide to percutaneous biopsy, especially in peripheral thoracic lesions that can offer important information, especially peripheral lung lesions (5,6) . Based on the description above we are interested in evaluating the suitability of the CNB and FNAB results with the aid of thoracic ultrasound in peripheral lung tumors.…”
