Z Moloo, and R J Finley, and M S Lefcoe, and L Turner-Smith, and I D Craig

Spread of tumor along the needle tract following aspiration biopsy with the so-called "fine" needles (thinner than 18 gauge) is recognized to be an extremely uncommon complication of this technique. A case is presented in which such a spread appears to have occurred to the chest wall 13 months after a transthoracic aspiration biopsy of a bronchogenic tumor.
