چکیده

A 48-year-old woman presented with dyspepsia, a 5-kg weight loss, and night sweating for 2 months. She had no underlying disease and denied alcohol consumption or smoking. Her vital signs, physical examination, and laboratory results were unremarkable. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) showed multiple low-density lesions of variable sizes in the spleen, with perisplenic lymph node enlargement (Fig. 1A). Chest CT revealed enlargement of the right upper and bilateral lower paratracheal, para-aortic, aortopulmonary, subcarinal, bilateral hilar, and bilateral interlobar lymph nodes without lung parenchymal abnormalities (Fig. 1B). Abdominal magnetic resonance imaging showed multiple low-signal splenic lesions in all sequences, with hypointensity relative to the background parenchyma (Fig. 1C and 1D). On endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), multiple, ill-defined hypoechoic splenic Sarcoidosis with splenic involvement diagnosed via endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy

Safety and utility of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration of focal splenic lesions: a retrospective analysis

BACKGROUND Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) of focal splenic lesions (FSL) is usually done under ultrasound (US) or computed tomography guidance. Endoscopic US (EUS), because of its ability to provide high-resolution images, can be used for aspirating FSL. We studied the safety and efficacy of EUS-guided FNA of FSL. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of patients with FSL undergoing EUS...

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration for the diagnosis of sarcoidosis.

The objective of the current study was to assess the yield of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) for the diagnosis of sarcoidosis in a large patient group. Bronchoscopy with transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) is nondiagnostic in 30% of patients with suspected sarcoidosis and has a risk of pneumothorax and haemoptysis. In order to obtain a diagnosis, mediastinoscopy i...
