  • Title: [Transthoracic needle-biopsy in coin-lesions of the lung-comparison of the results of different procedures (author's transl)].
    Author: Dürschmied H, Polak J.
    Journal: Z Erkr Atmungsorgane; 1980; 155(3):314-20. PubMed ID: 7222793.
    Abstract:
    This report deals with the results and the complications of transthoracic needle-biopsy performed with different methods at two cooperating hospitals (Prague and Bad Berka). Each hospital investigated 200 persons. As for tumours thin-needle biopsy yielded more positive results for tumours also more false positive results. As for other localized lung diseases the biopsy by means of a Hauser-needle was more successful.
