Is endosonography guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) for sarcoidosis as good as we think?
BACKGROUND Preliminary data show that endosonography guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) may be an accurate method for diagnosing sarcoidosis. However, these data were obtained in a small selected group of patients with a very high pretest probability of sarcoidosis. This retrospective study reports on the use of EUS-FNA in an unselected group of patients with mediastinal lymphadenopathy of...
متن کاملEndoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) of the right adrenal gland.
There are few reported series of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) of the right adrenal gland, probably because sampling of this gland at EUS is technically more difficult, given its retrocaval location and long endoscope position [1–4]. Here, we describe two successful cases of EUS-FNA of the right adrenal gland without any immediate or delayed complications. Prior ...
متن کاملSpinal meningioma diagnosis based on transesophageal endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA).
An 80-year-old woman with a history of mitral valve disease, pulmonary hypertension and atrial fibrillation was studied by asthenia and ferropenic anaemia. Colonoscopy revealed a polylobulated vegetant lesion occupying 60-70 % of the cecum, with a histopathological diagnosis of moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma. TAC showed a marked thickening of the cecum wall (5.8 x 4.9 x 3.7 cm) withou...
متن کاملComplication after endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) of rectal lesion.
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).

متن کاملTwo Cases of Retroperitoneal Liposarcoma Diagnosed Using Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Fine-Needle Aspiration (EUS-FNA)
This report describes our experience with two cases that were ultimately diagnosed as retroperitoneal liposarcoma using endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA). Case 1 is that of a 54-year-old woman with chief complaints of nausea and abdominal distention. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a large (15 cm diameter) tumor, which was signi...
