High-Quality Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Fine Needle Aspiration Tissue Acquisition

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration is a multistep procedure that involves proper clinical indication, correct selection of needles, adapting evidence-based techniques such as the fanning maneuver and not routinely using suction or the stylet for tissue sampling, and establishing reliable cytopathology support. Integrating cytopathology in the training curriculum and developing ...

‘Atypical’ Pancreatic Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Fine Needle Aspiration ‘Atypical’ Pancreatic Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology: A Study of Interobserver AgreementCytology: A Study of Interobserver Agreement

Objectives The Papanicolaou Society of Cytopathology’s terminology scheme for endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration cytology includes an ‘atypical’ interpretation category. We conducted a retrospective study to determine the frequency of its use within our institution and the interobserver agreement among pathologists with variable experience in interpretation. Methods Following I...

Pancreatic tuberculous abscess diagnosed by endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration.

Endoscopic ultrasonography guided fine needle aspiration is a useful diagnostic aid in evaluation of cystic pancreatic mass. We report our patient with pancreatic tuberculous abscess who presented with pyrexia, and was found to have cystic pancreatic mass on CT scan. Pancreatic tuberculous abscess was diagnosed with the help of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided fine needle aspiration cytology ...
