Retroperitoneal sarcomas (RPSs) are large, rare tumors. The role of core biopsy for retroperitoneal masses identified by preoperative imaging is unclear and we report the safety and accuracy of core biopsies at a specialized sarcoma unit in Sydney, Australia.
A retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected database was performed to identify the safety and accuracy of core biopsies in patients who were confirmed to have RPS.
Twenty-two patients underwent biopsies with no recorded morbidity or tumor seeding. RPS was correctly identified in 82%. Median follow-up was 19 months.
We demonstrate that core biopsy is safe and can identify RPSs.
腹膜后肉瘤（RPS）是一种大型罕见肿瘤。术前影像学检查发现的腹膜后肿块进行粗针活检的作用尚不清楚，我们报告了在澳大利亚悉尼一家专业肉瘤治疗中心进行粗针活检的安全性和准确性。
对前瞻性收集的数据库进行回顾性分析，以确定确诊为RPS的患者进行粗针活检的安全性和准确性。
22例患者接受了活检，无并发症或肿瘤种植的记录。82%的患者正确诊断为RPS。中位随访时间为19个月。
我们证明粗针活检是安全的，并且可以诊断RPS。
