Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the value of CT guided branchofiberoscopic biopsy of carcinoma originating from small bronchiole. Methods The fiberbronchoscopic biopsy results of 33 cases under CT guidance were compared to the results of surgical pathology, including fiberbronchoscopic blind examination and CT guided percutaneous lung biopsy. Results The lesions occurred in 1 - 3 grade bronchus could be approached with fiberbronchoscopic biopsy under direct vision. CT guided fiberbronchoscopic biopsy had the benefit of getting more reliable, accurate samples simultaneously with less complications in the diagnosis of bron-chiolar lesions. It was more easy and having higher positive rate to diagnose the lesion of terminal bronchiole and alveoli by CT guided percutaneous lung biopsy. Conclusions CT guided fiberbronchoscopic biopsy can collect more wholesome pathologic specimen than other examinations for small lesions of bronchus. The comprehensive utilization of microscopy, brush biopsy and multiple sites biopsy can improve the accuracy.
