BACKGROUND Endoscopic ultrasound‐guided fine‐needle aspiration biopsy (EUS‐FNA)
allows detailed imaging of both intramural and extramural structures of the gastrointestinal …

Diagnosis of lesions of the gastrointestinal tract and adjacent structures is possible using an
imaging modality, endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS). Fine‐needle aspiration (FNA) is a …

Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is used to detect and delineate the extent of lesions in the

Results: Forty-two consecutive patients (24 men, 18 women; mean age 59.7 years)
underwent EUS-FNA of extraintestinal mass lesions and intramural gastrointestinal tumors …

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration is emerging as the preferred
technique for the cytologic diagnosis of various gastrointestinal lesions. This technique may …

OBJECTIVES: Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-guided FNA) is
becoming a preferred modality for diagnosing and staging GI and mediastinal malignancies …

The diagnostic performance of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration is
strongly dependent on the availability of an onsite cytopathologist. The diagnosis of some …

Methods EUS/FNA was performed in 122 patients for 125 lesions: Mediastinal lymph nodes
(n= 56), pancreatic lesions (n= 45), paragastric masses (n= 12), submucosal tumors (n= 4) …
