After informed consent was obtained, the right upper quadrant was prepped and draped in a sterile fashion. Local anesthesia was administered using 1% lidocaine. Under real-time ultrasound guidance, a suitable lesion in the right hepatic lobe was identified. A 16-gauge core biopsy needle was advanced into the lesion using a coaxial technique. Two core samples were obtained and placed in formalin for histopathological analysis. Hemostasis was achieved, and the patient tolerated the procedure well without immediate complications. Post-procedure ultrasound confirmed no evidence of active bleeding or hematoma formation.IMPRESSION: Successful ultrasound-guided core biopsy of a right hepatic lesion in a patient with known carcinoma of the lower lobe of the right lung. No immediate complications.PATHOLOGY REPORT: Metastatic adenocarcinoma of the liver, consistent with primary lung origin.
