  • Title: [Ultrasound-guided needle biopsy of malignant liver cyst (author's transl)].
    Author: Weiss H, Weiss H, Sommer W, Becker HD.
    Journal: Leber Magen Darm; 1979 Jun; 9(3):148-50. PubMed ID: 481062.
    Abstract:
    A liver cyst was detected during a routine ultrasonographic examination. Needle biopsy of the cyst was performed using ultrasound as a guidance device during puncture. Malignant cells could be demonstrated on cytological examination. Needle biopsy of circumscribed lesions of the liver is a low risk procedure, causing no strain for the patient. Needle biopsy should be done, when a hepatic cyst is detected by ultrasound, when there is suspicion of malignancy, and when a parasitic lesion has been excluded.
