Ultrasonically guided fine needle aspiration biopsy is known to be of great value in the diagnosis of @entity409 , with an overall accuracy rate of 73-94 p. 100. However, investigators have essentially reported cases of liver metastases. In this report, we examined the diagnostic value of this method in the specific case of @entity5 associated with @entity82 . Twenty-seven @entity1 with @entity82 (20 alcoholic, 4 post- @entity99 , 3 @entity9595 ) with ultrasonically suspected @entity99 were studied. They all presented severe @entity1503 clotting disturbances and/or @entity843 . At the end of the study, all @entity1 had proven @entity5 (by post mortem biopsy in 14 cases and/or serum @entity160 greater than 500 microgram/l in 17 cases). There were 25 primary and 2 @entity3 . Twenty-nine fine needle aspiration biopsies were performed under ultrasonic guidance. material suitable for cytologic evaluation was obtained in 25 @entity1 . In 14 cases, a diagnosis of @entity409 was firmly established by cytological examination; it was suggested in 4 other cases. @entity5 typing was possible in 12 primary and 2 @entity3 , in agreement with the proven diagnosis. The present study shows that fine needle aspiration biopsy under ultrasound guidance is a safe and accurate diagnostic procedure in @entity409 associated with @entity82 .
