Summary:We have carried out the aspiration biopsy of the pancreas in 17 cases based on the technique of the aspiration biopsy for the mammary gland. Results obtained were as follows: 1) After enough mobilization of the pancreas, fine needle should be inserted into the tumor mass. 2) Incisional biopsy occasionally causes bleeding or pancreatic fistura formation, while aspiration biopsy is satisfactory. 3) In the case of the pancreatic tumor associated with chronic pancreatitis, biopsy in many places of the pancreas should be done. 4) Aspiration biopsy seems to be better than incisional biopsy for the diagnosis of the pancreatic carcinoma. 5) The diagnostic acurracy of the aspiration biopsy was 43/49 in mammary diseases while that was 14/17 in pancreatic diseases.
