| 1 | Diagnosis of ectopic pancreas by endoscopic ultrasound with fine-needle aspiration显示文摘AIM:To study the clinical,endoscopic,sonographic,and cytologic features of ectopic pancreas(EP).METHODS:This was a retrospective study performedat an academic referral center including two hospitals.Institutional review board approval was obtained.Patients referred to the University Hospital or Denver Health Medical Center Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Lab for gastroduodenal subepithelial lesions(SEL)with a final diagnosis of EP between January 2009and December 2013 were identified.Patients in this group were selected for the study if they underwent endoscopic ultrasound(EUS)with fine-needle aspiration(FNA)or deep biopsy.A review of the medical record was performed specifically to review the following information:presenting symptoms,endoscopic and EUS findings,computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging findings,pathology results,procedure-related adverse events,and subsequent treatments after EUSFNA.EUS with FNA or deep submucosal biopsy was performed in all patients on an outpatient basais by one of two physicians(Attwell A,Fukami N).Review of all subsequent clinic notes and operative reports was performed in order to determine follow-up and final diagnoses.RESULTS:Between July 2009 and December 2013,10patients[3 males,7 females,median age 52(26-64)years]underwent EUS for a gastroduodenal SEL and were diagnosed with EP.One patient was symptomatic.Six(60%)lesions were in the antrum,3(30%)in the body,and 1(10%)in the duodenum.A mucosal dimple was noted in 6(60%).Mean lesion size was 17(8-25)mm.Gastrointestinal wall involvement:muscularis mucosae,10%;submucosa,70%;muscularis propria,60%;and serosa,10%.Nine(90%)lesions were hypoechoic and 5(50%)were homogenous.A duct was seen in 5(50%).FNA was attempted in 9(90%)and successful in 8(80%)patients after 4(2-6)passes.Cytology showed acini or ducts in 7 of 8(88%).Superficial biopsies in 7 patients(70%)showed normal gastric mucosa.Deep endoscopic biopsies were taken in 2 patients and diagnostic in one.One patient(10%)developed pancreatitis after EUS-FNA.Two patients(20%)underwent surgery to relieve symptoms or confirm the diagnosis.The main limitation of the study was the fact that it was retrospective and performed at a single medical center.CONCLUSION:EUS features of EP include antral location,mucosal dimple,location in layers 3-4,and lesional duct,and FNA or biopsy is accurate and effective. | Augustin Attwell Sharon Sams Norio Fukami | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,8: | 22 |
| 2 | Histological diagnosis of gastric submucosal tumors: A pilot study of endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy vs mucosal cutting biopsy显示文摘AIM: To compare the usefulness of endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy(EUS-FNAB) without cytology and mucosal cutting biopsy(MCB) in the histological diagnosis of gastric submucosal tumor(SMT).METHODS: We prospectively compared the diagnostic yield, feasibility, and safety of EUS-FNAB and those of MCB based on endoscopic submucosal dissection. The cases of 20 consecutive patients with gastric SMT ≥1 cm in diameter. who underwent both EUS-FNAB and MCB were investigated.RESULTS: The histological diagnoses were gastrointestinal stromal tumors(n = 7), leiomyoma(n =6), schwannoma(n = 2), aberrant pancreas(n = 2), and one case each of glomus tumor, metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma, and no-diagnosis. The tumors' mean size was 23.6 mm. Histological diagnosis was made in 65.0% of the EUS-FNABs and 60.0% of the MCBs, a nonsignificant difference. There were no significant differences in the diagnostic yield concerning the tumor location or tumor size between the two methods. However, diagnostic specimens were significantly more frequently obtained in lesions with intraluminal growth than in those with extraluminal growth by the MCB method(P = 0.01). All four SMTs with extraluminal growth were diagnosed only by EUSFNAB(P = 0.03). No complications were found in either method.CONCLUSION: MCB may be chosen as an alternative diagnostic modality in tumors showing the intraluminal growth pattern regardless of tumor size, whereas EUSFNAB should be performed for SMTs with extraluminal growth. | Hisatomo Ikehara Zhaoliang Li Jiro Watari Masato Taki Tomohiro Ogawa Takahisa Yamasaki Takashi Kondo Fumihiko Toyoshima Tomoaki Kono Katsuyuki Tozawa Yoshio Ohda Toshihiko Tomita Tadayuki Oshima Hirokazu Fukui Ikuo Matsuda Seiichi Hirota Hiroto Miwa | 2015 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy2015,7,14: | 7 |
