Abstract
Combined core needle biopsy and fine-needle aspiration with ancillary studies correlate highly with traditional techniques in the diagnosis of nodal-based lymphoma. We read with interest the letter to the Editor by Pizzi et al: "Lymph node core-needle biopsy for the diagnosis of lymphoproliferative disorders: a word of caution"1 which is a comment to an article by Cohen et al2, Pizzi et al1 maintain that lymph node core-needle biopsy (LN-CB)3-5 should not be adopted routinely and that incisional/excisional (surgical) biopsy should be performed in all suitable cases.
