- Abstract:
- ObjectiveTo explore the reliability and safety of ultrasoundguided core needle biopsy in the diagnosis of childhood liver tumor. MethodsFrom June 2012 to December 2014,retrospective analysis was performed for 38 children undergoing B ultrasoundguided core needle biopsy of liver tumor.There were 15 girls and 23 boys with an average age of (24.11±26.09) months.All blood levels of alphafetoprotein (AFP) were higher than normal.An 18G automatic core needle was utilized for 6 to 9 shoots.Such complications as bleeding,infection,needle tract recurrence and pathological biopsy positive rate were recorded. ResultsThe results of frozen pathology were hepatoblastoma (n=37) and hepatocellular malignant tumor (n=1).And paraffin pathology confirmed the diagnoses of frozen pathology.However,subclassification of 9 cases failed.Among 37 cases of hepatoblastoma,25 underwent surgical resection after chemotherapy and the pathological diagnosis of resection specimens reconfirmed the biopsy results（25/25）.During followups,there was no onset of bleeding,wound infection or needle tract recurrence. ConclusionUltrasoundguided core needle biopsy is both safe and reliable in the diagnosis of suspected pediatric hepatoblastoma.
