Key Points

To evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound fusion-guided core needle biopsy for diagnosing infratemporal fossa lesions.
Utilized ultrasound fusion-guided core needle biopsy (UFCN)
Compared UFCN biopsy with traditional endoscope biopsy methods
Assessed time to pathology confirmation and need for general anesthesia
UFCN biopsy effectively diagnosed infratemporal fossa lesions
Reduced necessity for endoscope biopsy under general anesthesia
Increased rate of treatment that matched diagnoses
Shortened overall time for pathology confirmation

Abstract

UFCN biopsy was an effective solution for ITF lesion pathological diagnosis. It can reduce the need for endoscope biopsy under general anesthesia, increase the rate of diagnosis-matched treatment, and shorten the time to pathology confirmation.
