Fine needle aspiration of lung lesion: Lateral and transpectoral approach

A 69 year-old man presented with an incidental finding on radiograph of a lesion in the left upper lobe. CT indicated it was likely to be a neoplasm and CT-guided FNA was requested. The lesion was located medial to the scapula so a creative approach was utilised to gain access to the lesion. This st...

description A 69 year-old man presented with an incidental finding on radiograph of a lesion in the left upper lobe. CT indicated it was likely to be a neoplasm and CT-guided FNA was requested. The lesion was located medial to the scapula so a creative approach was utilised to gain access to the lesion. This study discusses the approach used and why it reduced patient risk compared to a more conventional procedure. The sample was positive for neoplasm and there were no complications arising from the procedure.
