This article reviews the technique, results, and complications of percutaneous biopsies
of soft tissue tumors. Biopsy of soft tissue tumors may be achieved either with fine
needles or core-biopsy needles. The choice between the two biopsy techniques ultimately
depends on the experience of the radiologist and pathologist. Since an inadequate
technique may severely affect final treatment, the biopsy track should be discussed
with the surgeon responsible for future management each time a primary tumor is suspected.
