The following case demonstrates a real-time interventional manipulation of a very small lesion, which was done under local anesthesia, with a minimal invasion to the patient.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Case presentation:<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>A 72-year-old woman is presented, hospitalized for a left-sided pleural effusion with bilateral, multiple nodul\u0435s of different sizes in the lungs. Thoracentesis revealed data for atypical cells in the pleural fluid. The CT scan suspected a probable neoplastic process, but the subsequently performed fiberbronchoscopy couldn\u2019t prove the existence of the same. The final diagnosis was established after ultrasound controlled transthoracic tru-cut needle biopsy of a pulmonary lesion with the application of a contrast medium.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The CEUS allows precise detection of the metastatic area because of its unique perfusion characteristics and ability to remain hypocontrasted after the application of the contrast medium sulfur hexafluoride. The persistence of a concomitant left-sided pleural effusion is used as an ultrasound window during the performance of the manipulation, with the successful verification of the pathology as primary pulmonary adenocarcinoma. By the application of this minimally invasive manipulation, an accurate final histological result was obtained.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2174\/1573405620666230801110930","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,1]],"date-time":"2023-08-01T12:36:22Z","timestamp":1690893382000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2174\/bsp_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Contrast-enhanced Chest Ultrasound in the Control of Transthoracic Tru-cut\nNeedle Biopsies: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.2174","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9863-791X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Teodora","family":"Mihalova","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pulmonary Diseases, Medical Faculty, Medical University - Sofia, UMHAT \"St. Ivan Rilski, Bulgaria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Evgeni","family":"Mekov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Professional Diseases, Medical Faculty, Medical University - Sofia, UMHAT \"St. Ivan Rilski\", Bulgaria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yordanka","family":"Yamakova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Intensive Care, Medical Faculty, Medical University - Sofia, Clinic for Cardiology, UMHAT \"Alexandrovska\", Bulgaria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yanina","family":"Slavova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Medical Faculty, Medical University-Sofia, Bulgaria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rosen","family":"Petkov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pulmonary Diseases, Medical Faculty, Medical University - Sofia, UMHAT \"St. Ivan Rilski, Bulgaria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"965","container-title":["Current Medical Imaging Formerly Current Medical Imaging Reviews"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.eurekaselect.com\/article\/download\/219333","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.eurekaselect.com\/219333\/article","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.eurekaselect.com\/article\/download\/219333","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,3]],"date-time":"2025-05-03T03:54:17Z","timestamp":1746244457000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.eurekaselect.com\/219333\/article"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,2]]},"references-count":0,"alternative-id":["LiveAll1"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2174\/1573405620666230801110930","relation":{},"ISSN":["1573-4056"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"1573-4056"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,2]]},"assertion":[{"value":"Peer Reviewed","order":0,"name":"review_status","label":"Review Status","group":{"name":"peer_review_details","label":"Peer Review Details"}},{"value":"Single blind","order":1,"name":"review_process","label":"Review Process","group":{"name":"peer_review_details","label":"Peer Review Details"}},{"value":"Checked with iThenticate","order":0,"name":"screening_status","label":"Screening Status","group":{"name":"plagiarism_screening","label":"Plagiarism Screening"}},{"value":"2023-01-25","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2023-06-19","order":1,"name":"revised","label":"Revised","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2023-07-01","order":2,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2024-01-02","order":3,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}],"article-number":"e010823219333"}}
