Non-malignant pathological results from CT-guided biopsy for pulmonary nodules: a predictive model for identifying false-negative results.

Background: Computed tomography (CT)-guided biopsy (CTB) procedures are commonly used to aid in the diagnosis of pulmonary nodules (PNs). When CTB findings indicate a non-malignant lesion, it is critical to correctly determine false-negative results. Therefore, the current study was designed to construct a predictive model for predicting false-negative cases among patients receiving CTB for PNs who receive non-malignant results.

Clinical analysis of 23 patients pathologically diagnosed with primary and secondary pulmonary enteric adenocarcinoma.
