Abstract: | Percutaneous bone biopsy has become an accepted means for tissue diagnosis in indeterminate metastatic disease, whereas needle
biopsy for the evaluation of primary skeletals neoplasms is controversial. Needle biopsies are also of value in the diagnosis
of inflammatory lesions and eosinophilic granuloma. The diagnostic accuracy of this procedure ranges from 50 to 94% in malignant
disease, but is less favorable in benign disease. The low complication rate of about 0.2% makes the percutaneous approach
an attractive alternative to surgical biopsy. |
