چکیده

with a puncture biopsy forceps versus fine needle aspiration A 36-year-old woman presented with abdominal pain, steatorrhea, and weight loss of 8kg. A computed tomography (CT) scan showed an enlarged pancreas with the characteristics of autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP). Because of the suspicion of an autoimmune pancreatitis, she was scheduled for endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) with a 19-gauge puncture biopsy forceps (PBF; MTW Endoskopie Manufaktur, Wesel, Germany) (●" Fig.1) and conventional 22-gauge fine needle aspiration (FNA) needle (Cooke). The EUS revealed no signs of chronic pancreatitis and her pancreatic duct was normal. We performed two passes with the FNA needle and took three biopsies with the new PBF, in both cases sampling the pancreatic body, which was reached through the gastric wall at the greater curvature of the body. No adverse events occurred. The PBF was very sharp, which resulted in easy penetration of the gastric wall and pancreatic body. Additionally the entire needle and its opening were clearly visible on the ultrasound imaging (●" Fig.2), allowing good precision of the biopsy location. The PBF histology consisted of four small pieces of tissue up to 1mm. The cut material showed acinar pancreatic tissue without any specific abnormalities (●" Fig.3). The differences in terms of pathology between the PBF and FNAwere: (i) histology versus cytology, meaning that the material from the PBF could be assessed for tissue coherence and architecture; (ii) material obtained with the PBF contained less contamination with blood and gastric mucosa, which promoted easier Fig.1 The puncture biopsy forceps (PBF): a in closed position; b in opened position; c device handle.

Use of a novel through-the-needle biopsy forceps in endoscopic ultrasound

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Pancreatic cysts are becoming more common. Their differential diagnosis includes benign, premalignant, and malignant lesions. Distinguishing the type of cyst helps in the management decision making. We report on a novel tissue acquisition device for pancreatic cysts. METHODS Data on two patients who underwent endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) - guided fine-needle aspiration with...

[Assessment of amylase and lipase levels following puncture biopsy and fine needle aspiration guided by endoscopic ultrasound in pancreatic lesions].

BACKGROUND Puncture biopsy and fine needle aspiration guided by endoscopic ultrasound has been used as an effective technique and is quickly becoming the procedure of choice for diagnosis and staging in patients suspected of having pancreatic cancer. This procedure has replaced retrograde cholangiopancreatography and brush cytology due to its higher sensitivity for diagnosis, and lower risk of ...

Diagnosis of pancreatic plasmacytoma by endoscopic ultrasound-fine needle aspiration.

Plasmacytoma presents more frequently in middle age men with aerodigestive tract involvement, especially in the head and the neck. Gastrointestinal tract involvement is uncommon, but the organ most commonly involved is the stomach. We report the first case in the literature in which final diagnosis was made by fine- needle aspiration biopsy guided by endoscopic ultrasound with adequate sample f...

Diagnosis of a mucinous pancreatic cyst and resection of an intracystic nodule using a novel through-the-needle micro forceps.

Pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs) are detected in over 2% of patients who undergo computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging screening [1,2]. Most PCLs are harmless, but some have the potential for malignant transformation. The management of PCLs is challenging, with high resource use. The standard option for the acquisition of cellular material from PCLs is endoscopic ultrasound (E...

Endoscopic fine needle aspiration cytology in the diagnosis of gastro-oesophageal and colorectal malignancies.

In a prospective study we compared the diagnostic accuracy of endoscopic fine needle aspiration cytology with that of brush cytology and forceps biopsy in relation to gross tumour pattern and site in 265 confirmed consecutive cases of malignancy of the oesophagus, stomach, colon, and rectum. Aspiration cytology gave the highest diagnostic accuracy (94%), which was significantly better than that...
