Popis: Objective Both a percutaneous biopsy and endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) have been widely performed for liver tumors. However, no studies have compared these two biopsy methods. Method A retrospective study was conducted using medical records for patients who underwent a liver tumor biopsy from 2012 to 2019. The cases were classified into two groups for a comparison: an ultrasound-guided percutaneous biopsy group (percutaneous group) and an EUS-FNA group (EUS group). Results A total of 106 patients (47 in the percutaneous group and 59 in the EUS group) were included. The final diagnosis was malignant in 100 cases and benign in the remaining 6 cases. While the median lesion diameter was 62 mm in the percutaneous group, it was significantly smaller (34 mm) in the EUS group (p
