Most American clinicans have been relectant to utilize aspiration biopsy due to poor interpretive skills by the pathologists in the past and a fear of tumor spread by the needle. Voluminous European series and recent American series have proved aspiration to be safe and reliable. In our series of 78 cases, both thin-needle aspiration and conventional tissue biopsies were made. The diagnoses were compared and the overall agreement rate was 90%.
过去，由于病理学家的解读能力欠佳以及担心针吸导致肿瘤扩散，大多数美国临床医生一直不愿采用针吸活检。大量的欧洲研究系列以及近期的美国研究系列已证明针吸是安全可靠的。在我们的78例病例系列中，同时进行了细针针吸活检和传统组织活检。对诊断结果进行了比较，总体符合率为90%。
