Percutaneous biopsy of pancreatic lesions
Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol.
1991 Jan-Feb.
Abstract
Percutaneous biopsy provides an effective means of tissue diagnosis in pancreatic lesions. Accuracy rates are ranging between 72 and 100%, with a sensitivity for carcinomas between 69 and 90% and a constantly high specificity of 100% in most series of the literature. The rate of major complications is low, with an incidence of about 0.05%.
