Abstract

We report a case of successful fused CT‐sonographic imaging‐guided percutaneous biopsy of an anterior mediastinal mass, which was visualized poorly with conventional sonography. Real‐time sonography fused with CT can be useful for biopsy of anterior mediastinal masses that are not well visualized on conventional sonography. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
