Use of fine needle aspiration biopsy in radiofrequency ablation.

Objective: To demonstrate the utility of fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) in radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of suspected metastatic tumors at various sites.

Study Design: Eighteen patients referred for RFA underwent 21 aspirations prior to the procedure. A radiologist performed the FNAB and RFA with radiographic guidance.

Utility and outcomes of fine-needle aspiration biopsy in Hodgkin's disease.

We present our 10-year experience, including clinical utilization and outcomes, with fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) in Hodgkin's disease (HD). Eighty-six cases from 68 patients with HD that were evaluated by FNAB were identified over a 10-year period. Medical records of these 68 patients were reviewed.
