Abstract

Improved imaging techniques have led to increasing detection of hepatic nodules incidentally. In many cases, a lesion that has been detected by imaging studies is not sufficiently characteristic, or there are other clinical concern, so that an imaging guided percutaneous needle biopsy is performed for definitive diagnosis. But sometimes, there are diagnostic difficulty due to limited diagnostic samples. We report a case of diagnosis to benign nodule, but not confirmed specific disease, by repeated CT guided fine needle biopsy.
