Diagnostic yield of EUS-guided FNA and cytology in suspected tubercular intra-abdominal lymphadenopathy
R Puri, R Mangla, M Eloubeidi, P Vilmann… - Gastrointestinal …, 2012 - Elsevier
BACKGROUND: Intra-abdominal lymphadenopathy is a common diagnostic challenge
faced by clinicians. In the absence of palpable peripheral nodes, tissue is usually obtained
from the abdominal nodes by image-guided biopsy or surgery. We speculate that EUS-
guided FNA (EUS-FNA) avoids the morbidity of a laparotomy and might be equally effective.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the role of EUS-FNA in abdominal lymphadenopathy. DESIGN:
Prospective study conducted over 42 months. SETTING: Tertiary care center in New Delhi …
