...Zhikai Chi; Howard H. Wu; Harvey Cramer; Jingmei Lin; Shaoxiong Chen Objectives: Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is now widely used as a primary tool to diagnose pancreatic neoplasms. However, criteria that can reduce the risk of overdiagnosing pancreatic adenocarcinoma...

... management. Most published studies are favorable that endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS)/endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-FNA plays an important role in the diagnosis of deep-seated lymphomas. The addition of ancillary techniques, particularly flow cytometry, increases diagnostic yield. While subclassification...

...Amna Jahan; Muhammed Aasim Yusuf; Asif Loya Objective: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (Pan NETs) are rare but are being increasingly diagnosed. The objective of this retrospective study was to share our experience of fine-needle aspiration (FNA), including endoscopic ultrasound-guided FNA...

... of our laboratory information system was performed over an 18-year period to identify all cytology and surgical pathology cases where a diagnosis of PanNET was made or considered in the differential diagnosis. Three cases of the oncocytic variant of PanNET were identified. Results: Endoscopic ultrasound...

...Brian T. Collins Objectives: Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsies are commonly used to diagnose tumors of the pancreas. Serous cystadenoma (SCA) is a benign neoplasm that is uncommon and accounts for 1-2% of all pancreatic neoplasms. Study Design: Surgically excised...

..., an additional 38 pancreas cases from endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) were evaluated recapitulating the RFI scenario from the learning phase. The cytopathologist was blinded to the results of the diagnosis in both phases. Results: The time to provide assessment of specimen adequacy and a preliminary diagnosis was 53...

...Brian T. Collins; Joshua Warrick Objective: Celiac ganglia are normal anatomic structures located in the region of the celiac artery and can vary in size from 5 mm to 4.5 cm. These nodules can be visualized by endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and be subject to fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy...
