Pulmonary biopsy is commonly performed for the diagnosis of interstitial pulmonary disease. The lingula has technical advantages on account of which it is frequently used. The quality of this tissue is however discutable. The authors submit a retrospective five-year group of 80 patients operated at the Surgical Clinic of the Faculty Hospital Plzen 53 times videothoracoscopically (66.2%) and 27 times by limited thoracotomy (33.8%). Both methods are in the authors opinion sufficiently effective to obtain bioptic material. The guide for localization of the biopsy is computed tomography. Only once from a total of 38 samples (2.6%) collected from the lingula an unequivocal diagnosis was not established. The authors assume therefore that pulmonary biopsy collected from the lingula is still justified.
