  • Title: [Puncture track metastasis after ultrasound-guided fine-needle puncture biopsy. A rare complication?].
    Author: Habscheid W, Pfeiffer M, Demmrich J, Müller HA.
    Journal: Dtsch Med Wochenschr; 1990 Feb 09; 115(6):212-5. PubMed ID: 2406116.
    Abstract:
    Bilaterally enlarged adrenals were diagnosed by ultrasonography in a 57-year-old man with a potentially resectable adenocarcinoma of the lung. Ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy of the left adrenal revealed a metastasis, proven cytologically. Chemotherapy was tried but failed to influence tumour growth. Three months later a painful subcutaneous nodule was noted in the area of the previous needle puncture, which on removal proved to be a skin metastasis. The patient died later from the underlying tumour.
