Safety and Diagnostic Accuracy of Biopsy of Targeted Splenic Lesions Under Ultrasound Guidance Using the Multiple-Pass Technique Without Co-Axial in Kinshasa Hospitals
Keywords:
biopsy, splenic lesions, under ultrasonographic guidance, multiple passages without co-axial
Abstract
The most frequent splenic pathologies can pose a diagnostic challenge to clinicians, radiologists and pathologists. These pathologies are innumerable, and may be of malignant or benign tumoral origin. Six techniques are currently available to obtain splenic tissue samples for pathological evaluation. Less invasive percutaneous techniques, performed by an interventional radiologist under ultrasound or CT guidance, include fine-needle aspiration biopsy and core tissue biopsy. They are associated with fewer complications and greater precision.
