Peroperative transduodenal biopsy of the pancreas.

D E Tweedle
PMCID: PMC1412667  PMID: 527875

Abstract

Peroperative transduodenal biopsy of the pancreas was performed in 65 patients with the disposable Trucut needle. The technique described is simple, effective, and may reveal unsuspected malignancy. A histological diagnosis of malignancy is reliable but false negative diagnosis may arise because of failure to obtain representative samples.
