To evaluate the value of CT-guided core-needle biopsy in diagnosis and classification of malignant lymphomas.
From January 1999 to October 2004, CT-guided core-needle biopsies were performed in 80 patients with suspected malignant lymphoma. Biopsies were performed with an 18-20 G biopsy-cut (CR Bard, Inc., Covington, GA, USA) needle driven by a spring-loaded Bard biopsy gun.
A definite diagnosis and accurate histological subtype were obtained in 61 patients with a success rate of 76.25% (61/80). Surgical sampling was performed in 19 patients (23.75%) with non-diagnostic core-needle biopsies. The success rate of CT-guided core-needle biopsy varied with the histopathologic subtypes in our group. The relatively high success rates of core-needle biopsy were noted in diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL, 88.89%) and peripheral T-cell NHL (90%). However, the success rates were relatively low in anaplastic large cell (T/null cell) lymphoma (ALCL, 44.44%) and Hodgkin's disease (HD, 28.57%) in our group.
CT-guided core-needle biopsy is a reliable means of diagnosing and classifying malignant lymphomas, and can be widely applied in the management of patients with suspected malignant lymphoma.
评估CT引导下粗针穿刺活检在恶性淋巴瘤诊断及分类中的价值。
1999年1月至2004年10月,对80例疑似恶性淋巴瘤患者进行CT引导下粗针穿刺活检。活检采用由弹簧驱动的Bard活检枪(美国佐治亚州卡温顿市CR Bard公司生产)及18-20G活检切割针进行。
61例患者获得明确诊断及准确的组织学亚型,成功率为76.25%(61/80)。19例(23.75%)粗针穿刺活检未明确诊断的患者进行了手术取样。在我们的研究组中,CT引导下粗针穿刺活检的成功率因组织病理学亚型而异。弥漫性大B细胞非霍奇金淋巴瘤(NHL,88.89%)和外周T细胞NHL(90%)粗针穿刺活检成功率相对较高。然而,间变性大细胞(T/裸细胞)淋巴瘤(ALCL,44.44%)和霍奇金病(HD,28.57%)在我们组中的成功率相对较低。
CT引导下粗针穿刺活检是诊断和分类恶性淋巴瘤的可靠方法,可广泛应用于疑似恶性淋巴瘤患者的管理。
