Abstract
Conclusion. - Percutaneous biopsy of suspected bone tumors is a safe and inexpensive procedure that consistently ensures the diagnosis of bone metastases. The diagnostic yield is lowest in patients with bone lesions caused by hematological malignancies. When two biopsies fail to provide the diagnosis, further biopsies are unlikely to be helpful.
