Kitab Al-Tasrif was considered a medical ency-clopaedia concerning surgery.

The work by Albucasis was soGerard of Cremona (1114-1187 A.D.), a famous trans-lator of Arab scientific works. The French surgeon and"Restorer of Surgery," Guy de Chauliac (1300-1368A.D.), in his famous book "Inventarium Sive ChirurgiaMagna" quoted the work of Albucasis more than 200Albucasis more than 200Needle biopsy in the twentieth century: The founders of the fine needle aspiration(FNA) techniqueDuring the 19thcentury, and the beginning of the 20century, the use of surgical needles for the diagnosisgical needles for the diagnosisIn 1912, a German haematologist, Hans Hirschfeld(1873-1944), reported the first needle aspiration biop-sy by reporting the diagnosis of cutaneous lymphomasand other tumors with the use of needle aspirationbiopsy and histological process of the acquired cellu-lar material [17].

While working at John Hopkins Hospital in Balti-more, Guthrie, performed a systematic study of cellu-lar smears from lymph node puncture in 1921 [21]. Heused a 21-gauge needle for aspiration biopsy and coat-ed aspirates on glass slides forming cell films that wereair dried and stained with Romanowksy staining.Guthrie reported that the method allowed him to suc-cessfully diagnose various diseases such as syphilis,tuberculosis, malignant lymphoma, leukemia andmetastatic carcinoma [21].
