Sumario:BACKGROUND: To investigate the clinical value of CT-guided percutaneous fine-needle aspiration biopsy for peritoneal lesions of unknown nature. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted of 84 patients with peritoneal thickening for unknown reasons. There were 26 males and 58 females who underwent CT-guided percutaneous fine-needle aspiration biopsy for peritoneal lesions. RESULT: Among these 84 patients, no definite pathologic diagnosis was made in 3 patients, who were lost to the follow-up. The accuracy rate of CT-guided percutaneous fine-needle aspiration biopsy was 95.1% (77/81). Sixty lesions were pathologically-diagnosed with malignancies (74.1%), including 55 with peritoneal metastases, 4 with malignant mesotheliomas, and 1 with a lymphoma. Twenty-four patients (33.8%) were diagnosed as benign lesions, including 11 with tuberculosis and 13 with inflammatory lesions. The complications of CT-guided percutaneous fine-needle aspiration biopsy included bleeding in 1 patient and ascites leakage in 2 patients. CONCLUSION: CT-guided percutaneous fine-needle aspiration biopsy is a safe and effective method for diagnosing peritoneal lesions.
