Abstract

Forty three percutaneous boen biopsy(PBB) procedures were performed under fluoroscopic guide at department ofdiagnostic radiology of Kosin Medical College, Pusan, Korea. The overall accuracy was 88.4%(38/43), true positiverate was 74%(32 cases), true negative was 14%(6 cases), false negative was 12%(5 cases). In cases of suspected metastasis with or without known primary, PBB occasionally provided the final tissue diagnosis and was helpful intumor staging and seeking the primary site. In cases of primary bone tumor, the tissue diagnosis obtained by PBB was helpful for planning future therapy and confirmed the recurrent tumor and residual lesion following treatment. There was no serious complication related to PBB. In conclusion, PBB is simple, safe, economic and accurated diagnostic tool. PBB gave the final tissue diagnosis. It not only provided accurate tumor staging and future therapeutic plan before treatment and also helped in the management of follow-up in patients with recurrent orresidual lesion.
