چکیده

dergo an endoscopic ultrasound−guided fine−needle aspiration (EUS−FNA) of a le− sion in the posterior region of the rectum. Informed consent was obtained. EUS, per− formed with a linear probe (3830UT, Pen− tax, Hamburg), confirmed a hypoechoic lesion with well−defined margins at 10 cm from the anal sphincter, between the posterior region of the rectum and sa− crum (33 mm). Prophylactic antibiotics were administered (ampicillin 2 g; genta− micin 80 mg intravenously [IV]). Con− scious sedation was initiated with mida− zolam, 2 mg IV. EUS−FNA used a 25 G ul− trasound needle (Wilson−Cook Medical Inc., USA) (l" Figure 1). No complications were encountered. Cytological examina− tion of the lesion revealed amorphous granular material, numerous squamous cells without atypical features, rare stro− mal cells, and few normal glandular ag− gregates; no malignant cells were found (l" Figure 2). Five days following the pro− cedure, the patient complained of pain in the posterior region of the rectum, and experienced fever and spontaneous cuta− neous drainage. EUS showed the lesion to be hypoechoic, with anechoic areas and undefined margins, compatible with pel− vic abscess or hematic extravasation after EUS−FNA. The patient was hospitalized and underwent clinical revalutation. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed features in the presacral−coccyx region consistent with an abscess surrounded by granular tissue. The patient was dis− charged in good clinical condition 10 days later. EUS−FNA has been shown to be a feasible and safe technique to obtain cytological specimens of submucosal, extrinsic gas− trointestinal, pancreatic lesion masses, or pathologic lymph nodes, as well as cystic structures [1 ±3]; the risk of bacteremia is low [4 ±5]. In this clinical case, we used EUS−FNA to better characterize the le− sion; the reported lesion did not show cyst features and therefore the risk asso− ciated with EUS−FNA, as for solid lesions, was negligible. In this case, as in all our cases of transrectal biopsies, prophylaxis with antibiotics was administered. The complication observed after EUS−FNA could be limited by administering anti− biotics in the days following the proce− dure, even though there are no published data on the usefulness of pharmacologic prophylaxis [4].

Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Fine Needle Aspiration in Submucosal Lesion

A submucosal lesion, more appropriately a subepithelial lesion, is hard to diagnose. Endoscopic ultrasonography is good to differentiate the nature of submucosal lesion. For definite diagnosis, tissue acquisition from submucosal lesion is necessary, and many methods have been introduced for this purpose mainly by endoscopic ultrasonography, such as endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspir...

Safety and utility of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration of focal splenic lesions: a retrospective analysis

BACKGROUND Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) of focal splenic lesions (FSL) is usually done under ultrasound (US) or computed tomography guidance. Endoscopic US (EUS), because of its ability to provide high-resolution images, can be used for aspirating FSL. We studied the safety and efficacy of EUS-guided FNA of FSL. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of patients with FSL undergoing EUS...

Pancreatic Metastasis from Rectal Cancer that was Diagnosed by Endoscopic Ultrasonography-guided Fine Needle Aspiration (EUS-FNA)

Pancreatic metastasis from colorectal cancer is rare, and there have been only a few reports of its preoperative diagnosis by endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) with immunohistochemical staining. We herein describe the case of a 77-year-old woman in whom a solitary mass in the pancreatic tail was detected 11 years after rectal cancer resection. The patient also had a ...

scopic ultrasound (EUS) evaluation of a cystic lesion in the pancreas tail, which had been found on cross-sectional imaging during work-up of unintended weight loss. A 4.7 × 4.5 cm anechoic, septated macrocystic lesion was seen in the pancreas tail with a central calcification (●" Fig. 1). The remainder of the pancreas examination was normal. An avascular pathway was chosen and a 19-gauge needl...

A 69-year-old woman with a history of uT2 N0 post-treated anal squamous cell cancer (SCC) presented for EUS for perianal pain. Two months prior, a digital rectal examination was significant for an indurated lesion on the left lateral rectal wall just proximal to the dentate line. A sigmoidoscopy revealed mild narrowing of the anal canal and an ulcerated friable mucosa in the same area. A biopsy...
