Rare condition of needle tract seeding after EUS-guided FNA for intraductal papillary mucinous carcinoma

چکیده
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS We report on a 75-year-old man who was admitted due to pancreatic cystic lesion accompanied by a solid mass with liver metastasis. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) was performed on the solid mass, and pathological findings revealed the lesion to be an adenocarcinoma diagnosed as intraductal papillary mucinous carcinoma (IPMC). Approximately 3 months after, a cystic subepithelial lesion appeared in the posterior gastric wall where the EUS-FNA had been performed. We performed EUS-FNA again, which revealed that the cystic mass was IPMC with pathology similar to the original lesion. This is a rare case demonstrating needle tract seeding of EUS-FNA for IPMC.

Peritoneal seeding in intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreas patients who underwent endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration: the PIPE Study.
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS There have been concerns about peritoneal seeding after endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) of mucinous pancreatic cystic lesions. The aims of this study were to determine the frequency of postoperative peritoneal seeding in patients with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) who had undergone pre-operative EUS-FNA and to compare it w...

We herein report a 68-year-old man with branch duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms of the pancreas (BD-IPMNs) involving type 1 localized autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) with normal serum IgG4 levels. Although he was referred to our medical center due to suspicion of pancreatic cancer concomitant with BD-IPMNs, endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) revealed a mass...

Background:KRAS and GNAS mutations are common in intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasia of the pancreas (IPMN). The aims of this study were to assess the role of pre-therapeutic cytopathology combined with KRAS and GNAS mutation assays within cystic fluid sampled by endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) to predict malignancy of IPMN. Patients and methods: We prospectiv...
متن کاملEndoscopic ultrasound guided - fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA), in comparison with gross and histologic diagnoses of pancreatic lesions
EUS-FNA of the pancreas is the preferred method of investigating and diagnosing pancreatic masses, both solid and cystic. Most solid tumors of the pancreas are conventional pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDAC). EUS-FNA has a variable sensitivity but high specificity in the preoperative diagnosis of pancreatic lesions, although the diagnosis for well differentiated PDAC is much more challeng...
متن کاملEndoscopic ultrasonography-guided photodynamic therapy for recurrent intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreas.
Recurrence rates after partial pancreatectomy in patients with a noninvasive intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) of the pancreas are reported as being 5.4% to 10.7% [1–3]. A recent case demonstrated the possibility of using photodynamic therapy (PDT) as an alternative therapeutic option for IPMN [4]. Herein, we present a patient who was treated with endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)-g...
