Twenty-seven patients underwent 29 computerized tomography (CT)-guided stereotactic biopsy procedures for untreated or recurrent malignant astrocytomas. Biopsies were obtained from the hypodense center, enhancing margin, and hypodense periphery as seen on contrast-enhanced CT scans, with diagnostic yields of (number of biopsies yielding tumor/number of biopsies obtained): 34/61 (56%), 68/101 (67%), and 8/22 (36%) from these three zones, respectively. Although tumor was identified in all three zones, diagnostic yield was significantly higher in the hypodense center and enhancing margin. Comparison of patients with untreated tumors to those with recurrent tumors demonstrated no statistical difference in tumor distribution, although there was a trend toward a higher yield from the hypodense periphery in the recurrent tumor group. Tumor was found up to 15 mm beyond the CT-enhancing margin, in addition to extending beyond the area of abnormality on T2-weighted magnetic resonance images. These findings suggest that serial stereotactic biopsies should be targeted to the hypodense center and enhancing margin for improved diagnostic yield. Biopsy material obtained from the hypodense periphery that demonstrates tumor also indicates that a tumor volume beyond the confines of the CT-enhancing margin should be considered when calculating dosimetry for interstitial radiation.
