  • Title: [Biopsy cannula as diagnostic alternative to puncture-aspiration biopsy with fine needle in head and neck tumors].
    Author: Gil Paraíso PJ, Rivarés Esteban JJ, García Gullón C, Leache Pueyo JJ, Fernández Liesa R.
    Journal: An Otorrinolaringol Ibero Am; 2001; 28(6):589-97. PubMed ID: 11859621.
    Abstract:
    Biopsy cannula is a diagnostic tool allowing anatomopathological examination of tissue samples, achieved through a percutaneous perforation. Unlike puncture-aspiration with fine needle method that only permits a cytologic study, this technique eases the removal of pieces big enough to provide the knowledge of the whole architecture of the lesion. At length in other specialities in our has been forgotten perhaps for the great efficiency of PAFN on neck masses or as complement of traditional surgery. We present one case in which the biopsy-cannula showed its diagnostic usefulness. We also discuss on the technique and made a bibliographic perusal about the published literature.
