Spectrum of Diagnosis and Yield of Endoscopic Ultrasound Guided Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology

Endoscopic ultrasound gives high resolution images of the mediastinum and abdominal organ improves visualization for obtaining tissue sample cytology. In our study 112 subjects underwent EUS guided FNAC, out them 51 were diagnosed as carcinoma (45.5%), 15 tuberculosis (13.39%), reactive adenitis is 13 (11.6%), other benign disease 27 (24.1%). So overall diagnosis we made in (106/112) (94.6%). 6 (5.3%) inconclusive. We suggest that EUSFNAC should be first line investigation suspected mediastinal intra-abdominal malignant masses.
