ABSTRACT
Introduction: intra-abdominal tumors are difficult to be diagnosed by aspiration biopsy; its combination with echography has not been described before in Mozambique.Objective: to report the experience of diagnosing intra-abdominal tumors by fine needle aspiration biopsy at the Central Hospital of Nampula, Mozambique.
Method: a descriptive, retrospective study that included patients admitted in the hospital with tumors in the abdominal region or those referred from ambulatory services, the sample was comprised of patients undergoing fine-needle aspiration biopsy in the abdominal region. Preceding informed consent was requested, assessment for hospital admission and normal-necessary complementary tests. The variables were summed up using absolute frequencies and the relative in percentage terms.
Results: 113 patients underwent fine-needle aspiration biopsy, itemizing them positive, suspicious, negative of neoplastic cells along with those useless for the diagnosis. The greatest percentage corresponded to patients having a positive diagnosis (77, 9%); ages from 16-35 prevailed. Positive lesions (87, 6%) corresponded to hepatocellular carcinoma; nephroblastoma prevailed in patients under 15 years old.
Conclusions: fine-needle aspiration biopsy is an effective and economic method that associated with echography is very useful for the diagnosis and therapeutic of abdominal tumors. The greatest percentage of positive diagnosis corresponded with the age bracket of 16-55 years old, male sex predominated. The most important diagnoses were hepatocellular carcinoma, nephroblastoma and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas.
