  • Title: [Big particle biopsy. An aid in the differential diagnosis of gastric lymphomas (author's transl)].
    Author: Krause D, Müller KH.
    Journal: Leber Magen Darm; 1977 Dec; 7(6):379-82. PubMed ID: 579427.
    Abstract:
    A definite clinical, radiological, endoscopic or bioptic diagnosis of gastric lymphosarcoma cannot usually be achieved. An attempt to establish the diagnosis should be made, firstly, because of the better prognosis compared to gastric carcinoma, and secondly, because of the alternative therapy available. In the case described the correct diagnosis could be established only by the big particle technique, but not by the conventional forceps biopsy method. The procedure is easy to be done and almost free of complications and is to be recommended whenever an endoscopic suspicion of gastric lymphosarcoma exists.
