Needle biopsy for a lung biopsy carries certain risks, including pneumothorax (collapsed lung), bleeding, infection, and damage to surrounding structures such as blood vessels or the diaphragm. Pneumothorax is the most common complication, occurring in about 20-30% of cases, but is usually minor and resolves on its own. Bleeding can occur during or after the procedure, but is typically minimal. Infection is rare but possible, and can be treated with antibiotics if it occurs.
