Sub 5 mm lung nodules can be biopsied safely by following a few simple principles and steps
Current Case:
A 71-years old with carcinoma tongue, treated 7 months prior presented with right pleural effusion and small pleural nodules.
She was referred for a CT guided biopsy. The nodule shown was the most accessible, measuring 2.4 mm in thickness.
