Summary:Percutaneous ultrasound-guided biopsy is useful for the pathologic confirmation of variable body lesions to establish diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. However, deep pelvic lesions are a challenge for pathologic diagnoses because of the presence of the bowel, bladder, major vessels, and pelvic bones which make a percutaneous approach difficult and dangerous. In female, the vagina is elastic and near the pelvic internal organs. Therefore, transvaginal ultrasound may serve as an effective and safe guide for the pathologic diagnosis of pelvis lesions. This review aimed to introduce the indications for, and the method of transvaginal ultrasound-guided biopsy, and to describe the reported diagnostic accuracy and safety.
