Abstract

Fine needle biopsies and fluid aspiration of ovarian cysts may not provide accurate enough diagnosis of ovarian tumors. Seventy-four women had needle biopsies or aspiration of suspicious ovarian masses that were followed by surgical procedures to obtain tissue samples. Results of the fine needle procedure were compared to microscopic analysis of tissue samples. Overall, 32% of the women had malignant tumors, including nonaggressive types. In five cases the needle biopsy or aspiration was falsely negative for cancer. One woman with cancer metastasized to the ovary developed bleeding at the aspiration site that required transfusion and emergency surgery. Another patient with ovarian cancer was found to have peritonitis when follow-up surgery was performed for the cancer.
