[Histological verification of the recurrence of early gynecologic tumor and primary tumors by puncture biopsy].

Needle biopsy feasible in a technically simple manner was used on 85 patients for primary histological proof of malignant tumors and tumor relapses from 1979 to 1982. The obtained tissue cylinders of about 1,2 mm in diameter and about 10 mm in length were examined histologically. A clear diagnosis could be made in 79 cases (92,8%). We did not observe any complication.
