Background: Ultrasound (US)-guided percutaneous needle biopsy is a useful diagnostic technique with short examination time and real-time monitoring at the bedside. However, there are only a few studies that report on thoracic lesions, whereas the computed tomography (CT)-guided biopsy is well established. There is also limited data comparing US- and CT-guided biopsy. We aimed to clarify the efficacy and safety of US-guided biopsy for thoracic lesions adjacent to the chest wall.Methods: We retrospectively enrolled consecutive patients who underwent US- or CT-guided percutaneous biopsies for thoracic lesions adjacent to the chest wall between April 2012 and December 2017. Clinical characteristics, lesion size, lesion-pleura contact arc length (LPCAL), diagnostic rate, and complications were compared between the 2 groups.Results: This study enrolled 61 US-guided and 70 CT-guided biopsies. No significant difference was found in age or sex. The lesion size and LPCAL in the US-guided group were significantly larger than those in the CT-guided group (P40 mm was significantly higher in the US-guided group than in the CT-guided group (P=0.009). Complication rates were significantly lower in the US-guided group (3.3%) than in the CT-guided group (24.3%) (P
