Flow-cytometry-enhanced fine-needle aspiration biopsy of the spleen.
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Flow cytometry is proving useful in the evaluation of lymphoproliferative disorders. In a case series, the authors investigated the safety of cross-sectional fine-needle aspiration biopsy of the spleen under sonographic guidance, and the usefulness of flow cytometry in analysis of biopsy samples.
METHODS: Five patients underwent fine-needle biopsy with freehand sonographic guidance. Samples were analyzed on a flow cytometer.
