Abstract

Percutaneous fine-needle aspiration biopsy of focal liver lesions was performed in 36 patients. Of the biopsies, 83% yielded enough cytologic material for a correct diagnosis, without significant complications. The primary indication for the biopsy was to document the presence of malignancy and avoid a diagnostic laparotomy.
