Ultrasound Guided Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy of Gastrointestinal Masses

چکیده
The study was undertaken to evaluate the role of ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of gastrointestinal masses in providing higher diagnostic yield and assess its reliability in distinguishing between benign and malignant gastrointestinal lesions. 86 patients with gastrointestinal masses after thorough clinical examination underwent ultrasonographic examination. Those found to have a mass were subjected to FNAC. Smears prepared were fixed in 95% ethyl alcohol and stained with Haematoxylin and Eosin and Papanicolaou stains. Forty (46.5%) were males and 46 (53.5%) females with majority of patients in the third decade in both sexes. Malignant lesions constituted the maximum number of 42 (48.8%) cases, followed by 36 (41.8%) cases of benign and inflammatory lesions. Adenocarcinoma was the most common malignancy accounting for 36 (85.7%) cases; out of which 16 (44.4%) cases were adenocarcinoma stomach and 20 (55.6%) cases were adenocarcinoma intestine. Among the inflammatory and benign lesions, 30 (83.3%) cases were tuberculous followed by 4 (11.1%) cases appendicitis, The mean age of malignancy was 39.2 years and the average age of tuberculous patients in our study was 25.5 years. On cytohistological correlation, 30 were found to be true positive for malignancy, 5 true negative and 1 false negative. There were no false positive cases. We obtained a sensitivity of 93.8%, specificity of 100% and diagnostic accuracy of 94.4% in our study. Ultrasound guided FNAC is an effective and useful method which eliminates the need for surgical biopsy and provides sufficient information for the initiation of therapy.

Diagnosis of pancreatic gastrointestinal stromal tumor by EUS guided FNA.
CONTEXT Gastrointestinal stromal tumors of the pancreas are very rare. Only two case reports have been published, both with diagnoses made on surgical pathology. We present the first case of pancreatic stromal tumor diagnosed by endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration. CASE REPORT A 47-year-old male presented with self limited nausea and vomiting. A CT scan revealed a subtle, hype...
