Current non-interventional diagnostic techniques fail to make a diagnosis in peripheral lung masses in a significant number of cases. Transthoracic biopsy permits morphological verification of the process with a high degree of informative value. Objective: to comparatively estimate the diagnostic value of different needle biopsy procedures for pulmonary and mediastinal tumors. Material and methods. In 2005 to 2015, a total of 206 patients underwent computer tomography-guided transthoracic needle biopsy. Results. Trephine (tissue) biopsy was shown to be superior to fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB). The sensitivity of trephine biopsy in verifying the malignant process was 92.2% whereas that of FNAB was 75%. The severity of complications after trephine biopsy was higher than that after FNAB. Conclusion. The procedures are easy to use and should be employed in the diagnosis of peripheral lung masses.
