Abstract
A technique for performing core biopsies of indeterminate masses of th e extracranial head and neck is described. Four patients with suspicio us masses of the extracranial head and neck underwent coaxial core bio psies through an 18-gauge Hawkins-Akins blunt tip needle. Three of the four patients had diagnostically adequate samples. There were no neur ologic or vascular complications.
