CT-guided percutaneous core-needle biopsy of pancreatic masses: comparison of the standard mesenteric/retroperitoneal versus the trans-organ approaches.

Abstract:

AIM:To compare the safety and efficacy of percutaneous computed tomography (CT)-guided core-needle biopsy (CNB) of pancreatic masses traversing the gastrointestinal tract or solid viscera versus trans-mesenteric and retroperitoneal approaches. MATERIALS AND METHODS:CT-guided CNB of pancreatic lesions performed between May 2004 and December 2014 were retrospectively analysed at a single centre. Biopsies were performed using 18- or 20-G needles with a coaxial system. CT images, histopathology reports, medical records, and procedural details for all patients were reviewed to evaluate the biopsy route, complications, and diagnostic accuracy. According to the routes, biopsies were divided into trans-mesenteric, retroperitoneal and trans-organ approaches for comparison. RESULTS:A total of 85 patients, who had undergone 89 CNBs for pancreatic masses were reviewed. The overall sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of CNB for detecting malignancy via various routes were 88.8%, 100%, and 89.9%, respectively, with a complication rate of 20.2%. Trans-organ biopsies of pancreatic masses (n=22) were performed safely via a direct pathway traversing the stomach (n=14), colon (n=3), small bowel (n=2), liver (n=2), and spleen (n=1). The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy were 90.5%, 100%, and 90.9%, respectively. In the trans-organ biopsy group, three biopsies (13.6%) resulted in minor haematomas, but no major complications occurred. There were no statistically significant differences in the diagnostic efficacy or complication rate among the different biopsy routes. CONCLUSION:Percutaneous CT-guided CNB using a trans-organ approach is a feasible technique for diagnosing pancreatic malignancy; however, as this series was small, more data is required.
