    Author: Goletti O, De Negri F, Pucciarelli M, Sidoti F, Bertolucci A, Chiarugi M, Seccia M.
    Journal: Radiology; 1992 Jun; 183(3):785-6. PubMed ID: 1584934.
    Abstract:
    A 72-year-old cirrhotic woman underwent percutaneous ethanol injection treatment of a liver metastasis of unknown origin. A subcutaneous metastasis developed at the site of the punctures. Needle track seeding is a rare complication of fine-needle biopsy but has never--to the authors' knowledge--been reported after percutaneous ethanol injection. The possible causes of this complication are discussed.
