ABSTRACT
AIM:
To report the early results of the Intact lesion excision system (LES) regarding feasibility, tolerance and efficiency in obtaining soft-tissue tumour samples under ultrasound guidance. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
The feasibility and tolerance of Intact LES procedures under ultrasound guidance were studied prospectively in 15 patients. The procedure was performed on an outpatient basis under local anaesthesia by a single interventional radiologist with 6 years of experience and lasted around 30 min.RESULTS:
The feasibility of the Intact LES for soft-tissue masses was good except when lesions were hard and calcified. Tolerance was good, with median pain experienced during the procedure evaluated at 4.5/10 (SD 2.2) and median post-procedural pain at day 1 evaluated at 1.8/10 (SD 2.5). No major complications were observed; however, for vascularised lesions, one case of acute wound bleeding and two post-procedural haematomas led to delayed pain.CONCLUSION:
Percutaneous biopsy of suspected soft-tissue sarcoma using the LES device under ultrasound guidance is well tolerated and feasible. After a first non-contributing core biopsy, and especially, in the case of lipomatous lesions, it is a valuable option to consider, as is surgical incision biopsy.
