Abstract
Primary pulmonary Ewing sarcoma is an extremely rare tumor of neuroectodermal tissue. In this article, we report on the case of a 45-year-old female who presented in the emergency department with shortness of breath and night fever. Radiologic findings suggested a massive pulmonary mass and a metastatic liver lesion. The diagnosis of Ewing sarcoma was established through a percutaneous biopsy of the lung mass and liver lesion. We highlight the importance of considering a broad differential diagnosis for a large pulmonary mass in order to lead to a prompt diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess irradiation time, pain syndrome and safety of the proposed device and technique compared to conventional CT-assisted transthoracic biopsy. MATERIAL AND METHODS CT-guided transthoracic trepanobiopsy of thoracic tumors was carried out in 296 patients between January 2017 and January 2020. There were 189 (63.8%) men and 107 (36.2%) women. Mean age of patients was 64.1±9.6 years (range 35-83). All patients were randomized into 2 groups by 148 people: group 1 - morphological verification via conventional CT-guided transthoracic trepanobiopsy, group 2 - morphological verification using a coaxial system and a specially developed CT-guided transthoracic trepanobiopsy. RESULTS Coaxial system with permanent anesthesia in CT-guided transthoracic manipulations reduces post-manipulation complications by 4-5%, get more qualitative morphological material (by 4%), reduces the time of procedure by 2 times and irradiation of patients by 27%, excludes irradiation of physicians and significantly reduces pain syndrome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic capacity of Cone-Beam computed tomography (CT)-guided transthoracic percutaneous biopsies on lung lesions in our setting and to detect risk factors for possible complications. METHODS Retrospective study of 98 biopsies in 94 patients, performed between May 2017 and January 2020. To obtain them, a 17G coaxial puncture system and a Siemens Artis Zee Floor vc21 archwire were used. Descriptive data of the patients, their position at the time of puncture, location and size of the lesions, number of cylinders extracted, and complications were recorded. Additionally, the fluoroscopy time used in each case, the doses/area and the estimated total doses received by the patients were recorded. RESULTS Technical success was 96.8%. A total of 87 (92.5%) malignant lesions and 3 (3.1%) benign lesions were diagnosed. The sensitivity was 91.5% and the specificity was 100%. We registered three technical failures and three false negatives initially. Complications included 38 (38.8%) pneumothorax and 2 (2%) hemoptysis cases. Fluoroscopy time used in each case was 4.99 min and the product of the dose area is 11,722.4 microGy/m2. CONCLUSION The transthoracic biopsy performed with Cone-Beam CT is accurate and safe in expert hands for the diagnosis of lung lesions. Complications are rare and the radiation dose used was not excessive.

Abstract
Background Hemoptysis is the most frequently reported complication of ultrasound-guided transthoracic needle lung biopsy (US-TTLB). However, factors influencing the occurrence of hemoptysis as a result of US-TTLB remain uncertain. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of hemoptysis as a complication of US-TTLB and to identify the related risk factors. Methods We retrospectively analyzed all data of patients who underwent US-TTLB from February 2013 through December 2016. The incidence, severity, and treatment of hemoptysis in each case were carefully recorded. Study variables were classified into patient-related factors (age, sex, smoking history, pulse oxygen saturation, laboratory tests and emphysema), biopsy-related factors (use of contrast agent, number of punctures and operators), and lesion-related factors (lesion location, size, pathology, length of puncture path and the grade of air bronchial sign). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to analyze the risk factors of hemoptysis. We investigated whether incidence of hemoptysis increased according to increased grade of air bronchial sign by Mantel-Haenszel test. Results A total of 209 patients were evaluated. Hemoptysis occurred in 20 of the 209 patients (9.6%). In univariate analysis, the lesion pathology (P=0.037) and grade of air bronchial sign (P<0.001) were statistically significant factors between the hemoptysis group and the non-hemoptysis group. In multivariate analysis, the presence of multi-air bronchogram in sonographic image (odds ratio =8.946; 95% confidence interval: 2.873–27.863; P<0.001) was a statistically significant predictive risk factor for hemoptysis complicating US-TTLB. There was a significant tendency for incidence of hemoptysis with the grade of air bronchial sign (P<0.001). Conclusions We found that the rate of hemoptysis complicating US-TTLB was 9.6% and the severity of hemoptysis was not serious. Target lesion without air bronchogram is a safety sign, minor bronchogram means relatively low-risk, while multiple bronchogram is a highly dangerous ultrasound sign of hemoptysis.

Abstract
Objectives Computed tomography-guided core needle biopsy has an important role in the accurate histopathological diagnosis of lung masses. The present study aims to share our results of computed tomography-guided percutaneous core needle biopsy of lung masses. Methods A total of 117 patients had computed tomography-guided percutaneous core needle biopsy for lung masses between January 2017-September 2019 in our institution. In this study, these patients' post-procedural complications, diagnostic-yield-rates and radiological-histopathological correlations were evaluated retrospectively. Results Complications occurred in 23 (20%) patients (20 (17%) of pneumothorax; 3 (3%) of hemorrhage). Chest-tube-drainage was needed in five (4%) of all patients. No significant difference was found between complication rates and patient gender/age, tumor volume/localization or needle-path-length (p>0.05). In 77 of the 85 (91%) primary-lung-cancer-cases radiological and pathological diagnostic results were correlated. Conclusion Computed tomography-guided core needle biopsy has a high diagnostic yield rate with acceptable complication rates in the diagnosis of lung masses.

Abstract
Introduction: The indications for open biopsies for intrathoracic lesions have become almost negligible. This development was made possible by less invasive maneuvers such as computed tomography-guided (CT-guided) biopsy, thoracoscopy or video-assisted thoracoscopy, and bronchoscopy. CT-guided percutaneous lung biopsy was first reported in 1976. Aim of Study: The aim of the study is to report our experience with CT-guided transthoracic biopsy. Materials and Methods: Patients with clinical and radiological evidence of intrathoracic mass were counseled and consent obtained for the procedure. They were positioned in the gantry, either supine or prone. A scout scan of the entire chest was taken at 5 mm intervals. The procedure was carried out by the consultants and senior registrar. Following visualization of the lesion, its position in terms of depth and distance from the midline was measured with the machine in centimeter to determine the point of insertion of the trucut needle (14–18-G). The presumed site of the lesion was indicated with a metallic object held in place with two to three strips of plasters after cleaning the site with Povidone-iodine. After insertion, repeat scans were performed to confirm that the needle was within the mass. A minimum of 3 core cuts was taken to be certain that the samples were representative. The results were analyzed by the determination of means and percentages. Results: Twenty-six patients underwent this procedure between 2011 and 2015. There were 15 males and 11 females (M:F = 1.4:1). The age range was between 30 and 99 years with a mean of 55 years. Histological diagnosis was obtained in 24 of the patients giving sensitivity of 92.3%. There were 3 mild complications giving a rate of 11.5%. The complications included a case of mild hemoptysis and two patients who had mild pneumothoraces which did not require tube thoracostomy. Conclusion: CT-guided biopsy is a reliable procedure for obtaining deep-seated intrathoracic biopsies with high sensitivity and minimal complication rate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transthoracic biopsy of peripheral lung lesions under ultrasonography (US) guidance is a useful diagnostic technique. However, factors affecting diagnostic yield of US-guided transthoracic biopsy of peripheral lung lesions are not well established. PURPOSE To determine the factors that influence diagnostic yield of US-guided transthoracic biopsy in peripheral lung lesions. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 100 consecutive patients underwent US-guided percutaneous cutting biopsy of peripheral lung lesions from October 2007 to March 2009. After seven unconfirmed cases were excluded, 97 procedures in 93 consecutive patients were included in this study. The accuracy of the lung biopsies was assessed by comparing the biopsy results with the final diagnoses. We divided the cases into a correct group (true-positive and true-negative) and an incorrect group (false-positive, false-negative, and non-diagnostic results) and analyzed the differences in the lesions, procedures, and patient variables between the two groups. RESULTS According to the final diagnoses, 56 cases (57.7%) were malignant and 41 cases (42.3%) were benign. An overall diagnostic accuracy of 91.8% was obtained. The median size of the lesions was 46.0 mm (interquartile range [IQR], 30.0-69.5 mm), and the median lesion-pleura contact arc length (LPCAL) was 31.0 mm (IQR, 18.0-51.0 mm). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that only LPCAL (odds ratio, 1.16; 95% CI, 1.04-1.30) was a significant predictor of a correct diagnosis. When we divided the lesions into those with LPCAL values >30 mm and LPCAL values ≤30 mm, the sensitivity (96.6% vs. 74.1%; P = 0.02) and the accuracy (98% vs. 85.4%; P = 0.03) were significantly higher in the group with larger LPCAL. CONCLUSION In US-guided transthoracic biopsy of peripheral lung lesions, the LPCAL of the lesions is an important factor for a correct diagnosis.

Abstract
Background The purpose of this retrospective study was to compare the results and complication rate in CT guided percutaneous trans-thoracic fine needle aspiration biopsies (FNAB) and core biopsies of lung lesions, and to determine the applicability of these needles. Patients and methods In 242 patients (166 males; 76 females) with mean age of 58.9 years (13–84 years) CT guided biopsies of lung lesions were performed on dual slice CT equipment. The average diameter of lung lesion was 2.9 cm (1.2–6.3 cm). For FNAB’s 20 – 22 G Chiba needles and for core biopsies 14 G biopsy needles were used. The samples were sent for the histological analysis. The cytological or histological results and the eventual complications were compared. Results FNAB’s cytological samples were adequate for definitive diagnosis in 117 patients (79.60 %) and inadequate in 30 patients (20.40 %). Core biopsies samples were adequate in 92 (96.85 %) patients and non- representative (necrotic tissue) in 3 (3.15 %). Pneumothorax as the most frequent complication was detected in 14 (9.7 %) of the patients in the group of FNAB’s and in 30 (31.5 %) of the patients with the core biopsy group. Conclusions The results showed that percutaneous transthoracic CT guided biopsies of lung lesions were an effective and safe procedure in the diagnosis of lung lesions. Core biopsy gives a higher percentage of representative samples than FNAB, and is a preferred method regardless of the higher rate of complications.
