Abstract:
From May 1997 to May 1998, we conducted punctuation and aspiration of 30 cases of liver tumors under the guidance of ultrasound in order to diagnose by cytology. The result showed that, accurate diagnosis was 95% better than that given by the examination done with ultrasound (83.5%) and FP (52.5% positive). Punctuation and aspiration of liver tumors under the guidance of ultrasound is a simple method, easily to apply with high accuracy and allows quick and early diagnosis at the admission of the patient
