Percutaneous needle aspiration lung biopsy is reviewed. Its method and place in the investigation of lung lesions is described and re-emphasized. It is a safe, cheap, quick and simple way to achieve a definitive diagnosis. The diagnostic accuracy is high and the complication rate low. The paper strongly advocates wider usage of this very useful investigative modality.
