There were 210 chest lesions biopsied with large-bore cutting needles (14.5 to 18.0 gauge). The patients ranged in age from 13 to 84 years with a heavy preponderance of males (99 percent). Most of the lesions were pleural based lung masses (133). In the majority (140) only one pass was required for diagnosis. Certain technical considerations were employed which resulted in a low complication rate of 4.8 percent. Pneumothorax occurred in only eight cases (4 percent). There were eight false-negative biopsies and no false-positives. The key advantage of large needle biopsy (LNB) over skinny needle biopsy (SNB) is that a large tissue core is obtained that allows for more specific histologic diagnosis. With proper technique and careful patient and lesion selection, LNB can be performed as safely as thin-needle biopsy.
