Abstract

BACKGROUND The biopsy guided by computed tomography is a technique widely validated in the study of thoracic and abdominal injuries. OBJECTIVE To determine the incidence of thoracic and abdominal pathologies by tomography-guided biopsy at the Hospital José Carrasco Arteaga in the period November 2017-April 2018. METHODOLOGY A descriptive and prospective investigation was carried out. The universe consisted of 85 patients who underwent biopsy guided by chest and abdominal tomography. The medical records were reviewed; the information was collected in forms and processed using the SPSS V15.0 and Microsoft Excel V2016 programs by absolute frequency and percentage, represented in tables. RESULTS 69.4% of patients are ≥65 years old and 50.6% are male. 88.2% underwent abdominal biopsy, of which 47.1% were liver. All biopsies of the thoracic region were lung (11.8%). In 91.8% of the cases, pathological findings were reported: hepatic hemangioma (17.9%), renal lymphoma (15.4%), liver metastasis (14.1%), renal metastasis (11.5%), etc. In the lung the predominant diagnosis was adenocarcinoma (6.4%), in the liver the hemangioma (17.9%), in the kidneys the lymphoma (15.4%), in the pancreas the exocrine tumor, neuroendocrine and metastasis (1.3%) and in the retroperitoneum the sarcoma (5.1%). CONCLUSIONS The patients who perform the procedure the most are the elderly and men. The pathologies with greater incidence are the hepatic and renal in the abdomen and the pulmonary in the thorax
