To evaluate the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS)-guided retroperitoneal puncture biopsy.
Methods:
Collected 80 patients who were planned to receive CEUS-guided percutaneous biopsy for retroperitoneal tumor. The interior necrosis
puncture number
the sampling satisfaction rate
pathological diagnosis rate and complications were analyzed.
Results:
The puncture was cancelled in 3 cases because there was no enhancement in the whole lesion. In the remanent 77 patients
the display rate of the interior necrotic area was 15.0% and 62.5% by conventional ultrasound and CEUS
respectively. The differenc
e was statistically signif icant (
P
<0.05). The sampling satisfaction rate was 100.0% (77/77)
and the pathological diagnosis rate was 100.0% (77/77). Treatment plan was made according to pathological results. No serious complication occurred in all cases.
Conclusion:
CEUS can show the range of retroperitoneal lesions and necrotic areas more clearly than ultrasound. The method can effectively draw materials and obtain accurate pathological diagnosis.
