Abstract:
Study on 37 patients (28 male, 9 female) treated at Bach Mai Hospital. Results showed that: the ratio of male/female was 3.1/1. Those patients were over 60 years old. The most common clinical signs were chest pain (81%), cough (43.2%), and weight loss (40.5%). Ultrasonic homogeneity in 25 (67.6%) of cases, 86.5% patients had lesion of 20-50mm. 31/37 (83.8%) of cases had one biopsy, 6 cases had a second biopsy including 5 cases with 18G needle. While 37 patients of histological examination of the biopsies found lung cancer in 20 cases (squamous cell carcinoma: 8, adenocarcinoma: 7, large cell carcinoma: 1, small cell carcinoma: 2, undetermined carcinoma: 2), tuberculosis in 5 cases, aspergilloma in 1 case, acute pneumonia in 1 case. There were only 2 complications: one case of hemoptysis which did not require any medication and one case of pneumothorax treated by needle aspiration. Biopsy is relatively safe technique.
