Huang y, et al. - The advantages, disadvantages, predictive power, and complications related to percutaneous ultrasound-guided core needle biopsies of pancreatic lesions were determined. The mean rate of complications was 2.08%, which was similar to the lower limit of this rate for endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspirations, along with the mean accuracy of diagnosis (95.76%). Ultrasound-guided percutaneous core needle biopsy for pancreatic lesions is increasingly available, displaying optimal diagnostic power in pancreatic neoplasms.
