Cancer had been diagnosed in all cases. From the CT images, nodules were classified as small (< or = 15 mm) (n = 63; 47%) or large (> 15 mm) (n = 71; 53%). There were 16 benign and 118 malignant lesions (92 metastasis, 18 primary, 8 unspecified). There was no statistically significant difference for sensitivity and for prevalence of pneumothorax between small or large nodules. For the 107 true-positive and 16 true-negative results, the cytology examination was positive alone in 41 cases (33.3%), the pathology examination in 24 cases (19.5%) and both in 58 cases (47.2%). The diagnostic efficiency of CT-guided transthoracic needle biopsy is as good for small pulmonary nodules (...
