@entity2 in Lithuania is increasing. Early diagnostics of this disease is important, difficult and necessary. During 2001, 169 @entity1 with first and second stages of @entity2 were treated in Department of Thoracic Surgery at Kaunas Oncology Hospital. Age of @entity1 was 30-80 years. We have analysed 20 @entity1 with @entity1263 . Diagnosis was not confirmed by X-ray and fibrobronchoscopic examination. Percutaneous transthoracic fine needle aspiration of small @entity2 was determined by computed tomography (CT) examination. The diameter of @entity5 were 2.5-4.5 cm. After percutaneous transthoracic fine needle aspiration the diagnosis of @entity2 was confirmed to 15 (70.5 perc.) @entity1 : @entity189 planocellulare - 13, @entity420 @entity1 . @entity3 (solitary) from @entity189 renis to 1, abscessus pulmonis (necrotic masses) to 2, @entity6551 ( @entity378 ) to 1 @entity1 . After CT examination, percutaneous transthoracic fine needle aspiration and histologic examination diagnosis were confirmed: @entity189 stage I (T1N0M0-T2N0M0) to 5 @entity1 , @entity189 stage II (T2N1M0-T3N0M0) to 9 @entity1 , @entity189 III (T2N2M0) to 1 @entity1 . There were 3 complications after percutaneous transthoracic needle aspiration: @entity548 in @entity5 place to 2 @entity1 , local pneumothorax to 1 @entity1 . In all cases when we can not confirm diagnosis of @entity1263 we have to do CT examination and percutaneous transthoracic fine needle aspiration.
