Description
Summary:The objective is to demonstrate possibilities of a harpoon biopsy under ultrasound guidance for malignant neoplasms early detection using a clinical example.Clinical case. A 65-year-old patient with morphologically verified laryngeal cancer (stage II, T2N0M0) underwent radiation therapy, which resulted in a complete tumor resorption. Subsequent ultrasound detected a neoplasm in the projection of the folding section. Percutaneous harpoon biopsy was performed under ultrasound guidance because standard clinical and instrumental studies were unable to confirm the diagnosis. Histological study of the biopsy material confirmed the “relapse of larynx squamous cell carcinoma”.Conclusion. A transdermal harpoon biopsy under ultrasound guidance followed by morphological biopsy study makes it possible to diagnose the disease and determine therapeutic approach as soon as possible.
