Results of percutaneous needle biopsies were evaluated retrospectively in 58 patients in whom a diagnosis of lymphoma was suspected. The biopsy specimen was diagnostic in 94% of the 36 patients with lymphoma, 20 of whom had recurrent disease and 16 of whom had newly diagnosed lymphoma. Sufficient tissue was obtained in 94% of these positive biopsy specimens to allow histologic subtyping of the lymphoma. Immunohistochemical studies performed on seven of the biopsy specimens allowed immunologic subclassification into B-cell and T-cell types of lymphoma. Our results suggest that the percutaneous needle biopsy is a useful and reliable tool in the diagnosis and classification of lymphoma.
