Puncion aspiración con aguja fina de masas abdominales bajo control ecográfico. Diagnóstico citológico y experiencia con marcadores biológicos. / [Fine-needle aspiration puncture of abdominal masses using echographic monitoring. Cytological diagnosis and experience with biological markers]

ABSTRACT

43 fine needle aspiration biopsies of abdominal masses were performed under echographic guide. Cytologic diagnosis was done with routine techniques. Tumor, lineage and origin biologic markers were detected by immunocytochemical methods. Sensibility, specificity and accuracy of this procedure were evaluated. Advantages of the method are discussed.
