Abstract

To investigate the diagnostic significance of percutaneous lung puncture for solid pulmonary nodules (diameter ≤15 mm). This study retrospectively included 20 patients with solid pulmonary nodules who underwent percutaneous puncture from January 2014 to December 2018, including 11 males and 9 females. The diameter of the lesion is between 0.5 cm-1.5 cm, excluding severe organ dysfunction, and patients with coagulopathy. All 20 patients were successfully selected, and 19 patients were diagnosed with pathological diagnosis. Among them, 11 patients found malignant tumor cells, which were clearly malignant tumors of the lungs, 5 cases of chronic inflammation of the lungs, 2 cases of fibrous tissue hyperplasia, and 1 case of lung cartilage tissue, no tumor cells were found in 1 case. One patient with a small amount of pneumothorax after puncture and one patient with a small amount of pleural effusion on the puncturesite. Percutaneous lung puncture has a high effectiveness and safety for the diagnosis of solid pulmonary nodules.
