- Abstract: This paper documents the first reported cases of patients in the country who underwent transvaginal ultrasound‑guided Tru‑cut biopsy of pelvic tumors in a tertiary level health institution in 2019. Different indications for Tru‑cut biopsy were demonstrated highlighting its clinical utility in the diagnosis and management of malignant pelvic tumors. All patients warranted histologic diagnosis for further planning of the most appropriate management. Adequate tissue samples were obtained from all three patients with no procedure‑related complications.
