    Author: Moloo Z, Finley RJ, Lefcoe MS, Turner-Smith L, Craig ID.
    Journal: Acta Cytol; 1985; 29(2):167-9. PubMed ID: 3856986.
    Abstract:
    Spread of tumor along the needle tract following aspiration biopsy with the so-called "fine" needles (thinner than 18 gauge) is recognized to be an extremely uncommon complication of this technique. A case is presented in which such a spread appears to have occurred to the chest wall 13 months after a transthoracic aspiration biopsy of a bronchogenic tumor.
