  2. Background • Open biopsy is the historical gold standard for diagnosing bone and soft-tissue lesions • Highly accurate • 16% complication rate • 12% treatment altered • 1.2% unnecessary amputation Mankin et al., J Bone Joint Surg Am. 1996;78(5):656-663

  3. Core Needle Biopsy (CNB) • Increasingly accepted for the diagnosis of bone and soft-tissue lesions • Reduced morbidity, time and cost • Fewer complications • Concerns remain regarding accuracy of CNB

  4. Objectives • To assess and compare : • Core Needle Biopsy (CNB) • Open Biopsy (OB) • Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) • Diagnostic rate • Accuracy for • Distinguishing benign vs. malignant • Histological diagnosis • Distinguishing low vs. high grade sarcoma

  5. Materials and Methods • Prospectively collected database • 286 biopsies in 282 patients • 2004-2007 • 165 males, 117 females • Mean age 51 yrs (range 16-92 yrs) • Biopsy compared to final pathology • Included biopsies performed prior to referral but slides were re-reviewed by an experienced MSK pathologist

  6. Our Practice • Patients are assessed in MSK surgical clinic • Site for CNB is marked with indelible marker • Image-guided biopsy performed by radiologist within pre-marked biopsy site • 10mm biopsy incision so site is identifiable for definitive resection

  7. Our Practice • If core needle biopsy is non-diagnostic, then proceed with open biopsy • Biopsy track excised en bloc with tumour during definitive resection

  10. Results

  11. Diagnostic Rate 92% 100%72%

  12. Non-diagnostic Specimens CNB (18/229 = 8%) FNA (7/25 = 28%)

  13. Accuracy for Distinguishing Benign vs. Malignant Accuracy89% 97%68%

  14. Incorrect Diagnosis of Benign vs. Malignant • Benign (at biopsy)  Malignant (final pathology) • CNB (n=229) • 6 Benign lipomatous tumour  Well-differentiated liposarcoma (ST) • 1 Fracture healing  Adenocarcinoma metastasis (B) • OB (n=32) • 1 Leiomyoma  Leiomyosarcoma (ST) • FNA (n=25) • 1 Mature fat  Well-differentiated liposarcoma (ST)

  15. Incorrect Diagnosis of Benign vs. Malignant • Malignant (at biopsy)  Benign (final pathology) • CNB (n=229) • 1 Lymphoma of ilium  Osteomyelitis (B) • OB (n=32) • 0 • FNA (n=25) • 0

  16. Accuracy for Histological Subtype Accuracy 70% 81% 40%

  17. Accuracy for Distinguishing Low vs. High Grade Sarcoma

  18. Accuracy for Distinguishing Low vs. High Grade Sarcoma Accuracy90% 96% 72%

  19. Incorrect Diagnosis of Low vs. High Grade Sarcoma • Low grade (at biopsy)  High grade (final pathology) • CNB (n=92) • 3 • OB (n=24) • 0 • FNA (n=10) • 2 • High grade (at biopsy)  Low grade (final pathology) • None 1 Osteosarcoma (B) 1 Liposarcoma (ST) 1 Ossifying fibromyxoid tumour (ST) 1 De-diff. Chondrosarcoma (B) 1 Myofibroblastic sarcoma (ST)

  20. Discussion

  21. Discussion • Perform CNB with care on fatty lesions

  22. Conclusion • Core needle biopsy is accurate for determining: • Benign vs. malignant • Histological subtype • Low vs. high grade for sarcoma • Advantages of core needle biopsy • Fewer complications • Reduced cost of treatment • High diagnostic accuracy

  23. Recommendations • CNB be used routinely for diagnosis, whenever possible • Open biopsy reserved for use when CNB is non-diagnostic • Given its high inaccuracy, FNA is not indicated for diagnosing musculoskeletal lesions in the extremities
