Abstract

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to investigate the diagnostic value of fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) performed under the guidance of thoracic ultrasonography (USG) for the diagnosis of thoracic lesions such as peripheral lung lesions, pleural lesions, mediastinal lesions, and chest wall or supraclavicular metastases of lung lesions.
