Abstract

Purpose

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can distinguish between central lung cancer and atelectatic lung tissue. The aim of this study was to explore the clinical value of CEUS for biopsy in patients with central lung cancer with obstructive atelectasis.

Methods

One hundred and twelve patients were selected and CEUS was performed to display central lung cancer and atelectatic lung tissue. The front edge of central lung cancer was punctured with a needle, avoiding the necrotic area, under the guidance of CEUS.

Results

All of the 112 lesions were diagnosed with a clear central lung cancer mass and atelectatic lung tissue. In 104 cases, the central lung cancer mass presented with a “slow-in and fast-out” pattern compared to atelectatic lung tissue. In eight cases, the central lung cancer mass presented with a “fast-in and fast-out” pattern compared to atelectatic lung tissue. The mean number of punctures was 2.6, and the success rate of puncture biopsy was 98%. Of the 112 patients, six cases had hemoptysis during the procedure and 10 patients had bloody sputum in the postoperative period. No complications were found in the other cases.

Conclusion

CEUS has important clinical value for needle biopsy of central lung cancer with atelectasis.
