Abstract

Purpose: 1. Study imaging characteristics of solitary pulmonary nodules on computed tomography. 2. Study on complications and the relationship with some related factors in computed tomography-guided percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy for solitary pulmonary nodules.


Methods: This is an intervention study without a control group, study on 56 patients with solitary pulmonary nodule on CT, underwent computed tomography-guided percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy at Thanh Hoa Oncology Hospital from January 2021 to August 2022.


Results and Conclusion: The average size of the lesion was 24.7±4.68mm, features such as lobulated margin, spiculated margin, enhancement >15HU had a higher rate of malignant tumors than other features in the same group. The overall rate of complications after biopsy was 43.9%, the most common was complication related to blood vessels. Most cases of needle transfer during biopsy had complications after biopsy.
