Ultrasonography (US) was performed in patients with gynecologic malignancies to detect paraaortic and pelvic lymphadenopathy. US of paraaortic lymph nodes was performed in 32 patients. Of the 32 patients 17 had lymphadenopathy, and ultrasound-guided percutaneous fine needle aspiration biopsies (FNAB) were therefore performed in 16 of these 17 cases. Of these 16 patients, 11 were positive and 5 were negative FNAB. US of pelvic lymph nodes was performed in 68 patients. Of the 68 patients 14 had lymphadenopathy, and FNAB were performed in 8 of these. All 14 of these FNABs were positive. There were no major complications from due to FNAB. It is therefore concluded that ultrasound-guided percutaneous FNAB is very useful in detecting metastatic lymph nodes of gynecologic malignancies.
