Percutaneous transperitoneal fine needle biopsy of normal looking lymph nodes and small lesions at lymphography: A preliminary report
Technical Notes
Abstract
Using percutaneous transperitoneal fluoroscopy-guided fine needle biopsy, it is possible to demonstrate metastases in normal looking lymph nodes and in small lesions at lymphography. The procedure may be used in staging of malignant disease in the genitourinary organs.
