Abstract
Spread of tumor along the needle tract following aspiration biopsy with the so-called fine needles (thinner than 18 gauge) is recognized to be an extremely uncommon complication of this technique. A [human] case is presented in which such a spread appears to have occurred to the chest wall 13 mo. after a transthoracic aspiration biopsy of a bronchogenic tumor.
