AbstractOBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to correlate the result of the ultrasound guided transperineal aspiration biopsy with the clinical findings. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively studied 27 patients who had been subjected to ultrasound guided transperineal prostatic aspiration biopsy in our institution during the period 1990 to 1992. The patients were divided into two groups: Group A--those with clinically palpable nodules on digital examination, and Group B--those without palpable nodule but with clinical evidence of prostatic enlargement and/or bladder outlet obstruction. RESULTS: There were 8 biopsy proven cancers, 4 of them were palpable lesions while the other 4 were clinically non-palpable. The overall positive predictive value was 29.6%; this increased to 40% if the lesions were palpable but decreased to 23.5% if the lesions were non-palpable. CONCLUSION: The overall positive predictive value of this technique was found to be consistent with other studies using different methods of biopsies. The positive predictive value was increased if the abnormality was clinically palpable. This technique was also found to be safe and no significant complication was observed in these patients.
