Diagnosis of pancreatic cystic lymphangioma with EUS-guided FNA: report of a case.

摘要

EUS is central to the diagnosis and management of cystic lesions of the pancreas. By providing detailed images of the outer border and the internal architecture, EUS can narrow the differential diagnosis of such lesions. In the appropriate clinical setting, analysis of cystic fluid obtained by EUS-guided FNA (EUS-FNA) increases the utility of EUS. This report describes a case of a pancreatic cystic lymphangioma (PCL) diagnosed by EUS-FNA. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a case in which this diagnosis was made by EUS-FNA.
