Chest Waal Implantation of Lung Cancer after Percutaneous Fine Needle Aspiration -Report of one case-
|

Abstract
|
|
|
Percutaneous needle aspiration has been widely used in the diagnosis of pulmonary lesions, because it is a fairly simple procedure with good diagnostic accuracy and low complication rate.
Among its complications, the spread of malignant cells along the needle tract is rare but serious one.
We report a case of chest wall implantation of lung cancer after the percutaneous fine needle aspiration biopsy.
A 57-year-old man had undergone a right upper lobectomy for squamous cell carcinoma (T2N0M0) of lung. 3 months after the operation, a growing mass, located far from the previous thoracotomy incision, developed on the right anterior chest wall
where
the
diagnostic thin needle biopsy had been performed before the lobectomy. A wide excision of the chest wall mass was performed, and permanent histology showed squamous cell carcinoma was noted before.
