    Author: Zornoza J, Jonsson K, Wallace S, Lukeman JM.
    Journal: Radiology; 1977 Oct; 125(1):87-8. PubMed ID: 897193.
    Abstract:
    Percutaneous fine needle aspiration biopsy of retroperitoneal lymph nodes and abdominal masses was performed in 109 patients. Eighty-five per cent of the aspiration biopsies yielded sufficient cytologic material for a correct diagnosis. Indications include confirmation of lymphangiographic findings and the establishment of a histologic diagnosis in lieu of surgery. No significant complications were encountered.
