Diagnosing tuberculosis by fine-needle aspiration biopsy. 1982

J Rothenberg, and S Poellein, and R R Penkava

This case report exemplifies the effectiveness of percutaneous fine-needle aspiration biopsy in confirming active pulmonary tuberculosis when conventional methods fail to document the disease. Aspiration biopsy of the suspicious lesion allowed direct examination, which demonstrated acid-fast bacilli. Culture of the aspirate grew Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
