Popis: Abstract Introduction Peritoneal lesions cannot be definitively distinguished based on clinical and imaging characteristics alone. This study aimed to evaluate the reliability, diagnostic value, and diagnostic yield of ultrasound‐guided percutaneous core needle biopsy (PCNB) for peritoneal lesions. Methods A retrospective analysis of 129 patients who underwent PCNB for peritoneal lesions was performed to assessed technical completion and diagnostic yield. Results The results showed that ultrasound‐guided PCNB is a safe and reliable diagnostic tool with high diagnostic yield for peritoneal lesions. Technical feasibility and diagnostic yield rates were 100% and 89.9%, respectively. The diagnostic yield was lower for patients with a known history of cancer and a short anteroposterior diameter of the target lesion. Conclusions These findings suggest that ultrasound‐guided PCNB could be considered as a first‐line diagnostic tool for peritoneal lesions, as it offers a minimally invasive and accurate means of obtaining tissue samples for diagnosis.
