PRELIMINARY RESULTS OF PERCUTANEOUS SPINE BIOPSY UNDER CT GUIDANCE AT THONG NHAT HOSPITAL
Main Article Content
Abstract
Subjects and methods: 31 cases of spinal bone biopsy were conducted at the Radiology Department, Thong Nhat Hospital – Ho Chi Minh City, from July 2023 to July 2024. Results: The common age group was over 60 years, with females making up the majority (61%). The primary biopsy site was the lumbar spine (77.42%). The biopsy locations included: transpedicular (32.26%), vertebral body (61.29%), and paraspinal soft tissue (6.45%). Bone biopsy needles were used in 64.52% of cases, soft tissue biopsy needles in 29.03%, and a combination of both in 6.45%. The histopathological results were: spinal metastasis (41.94%), tuberculosis (22.58%), necrotic inflammatory tissue (19.35%), lymphoma (6.45%), benign tissue with hemorrhage (6.45%). Adequate biopsy specimens were obtained for histopathological diagnosis in 96.77% of cases. Post-procedure complications included local hematoma (3.23%) and prolonged spinal pain (3.23%), with no other significant complications observed.
