Resumen y conclusiones

Se presentan los resultados obtenido dos mediante biopsia pleural ciega con aguja de Cope en 113 derrames. Se obtuvo tejido pleural en 106 casos. La es pecificidad diagnóstica fue de un 44 % De los 40 casos de derrame pleural qu acompañaban a una neoplasia en 2 (65 %) se obtuvo pleura maligna. En los derrames tuberculosos el diagnóstico por biopsia se efectuó en el 70 % de los casos.

Como conclusión final estimamo que, dada la escasez y poca importancia de las complicaciones, la fácil manejabilidad y los buenos resultados, e un método de alta rentabilidad diagnóstica, especialmente en derrames pleurales tuberculosos y neoplásicos.

Summary

The authors present the results obtained by blind pleural biopsy with Cope's needle in 113 effusions. Pleural tissue was obtained in 106 cases. The diagnostic specificity was of 44 %. Of the 40 cases of pleural effusion accompained with a neoplasm, in 26 cases (65 %) malgin pleura was obtained. In the tuberculous effusions, diagnosis by biopsy was made in 70 % of the cases.

Finally, the authors conclude that, due to the scarcity and slight importante of the complications, due to the fact that it is easy to handle and due to the good results, this is a method with high diagnostic yield, especially in tuberculous and neoplastic pleural effusions.
