Abstract

Aim: To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of ultrasound-guided omental biopsy. Methods: Data of 6 patients with omental thickening who underwent ultrasound-guided omental biopsy from 08/2020 to 10/2022 at Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Results: The median age was 57 years (range, 33-68 years), male/female ratio was 1/5. 16G needle were used in 4/6 patients. The average number of samples per biopsy was 3.33 samples (range, 3-5), 10-20mm in length. No intra and peri-procedural complications were recorded. Regarding histopathological examination, the diagnostic yield was 100%, in which 50% were metastatic lesions and 50% were granulomatous inflammatory compatible with tuberculosis. Conclusions: Ultrasound-guided omental biopsy is a safe and effective method to determine the nature of omental lesions.
