Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has evolved to become a crucial tool for the evaluation of pancreatic diseases, among them solid pancreatic lesions. However, its ability to determine whether a lesion is malignant or not is difficult to establish based only in the endosonographic image. EUS-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) allows obtaining a cytological and/or histological sample from pancreatic lesions, with a high overall accuracy and low complication rates. Although the clinical usefulness of EUS-FNA for pancreatic diseases is widely accepted, the indications for tissue diagnosis of pancreatic lesions suspected to be malignant is still controversial. This review highlights the diagnostic accuracy and complications of EUS-FNA, focusing on its current indications.

“…SPNs could be seen as well-demarcated, hypoechoic, solid masses that sometimes coexist with cystic lesions and/or calcification on EUS. Accuracy of preoperative SPN diagnosis by EUS-FNA is reported to be 75-100% 17,18 ; however, diagnosis by EUS-FNA is sometimes difficult because of interpretative, sampling, and misclassification errors or insufficient material for immunostaining 19 . In addition, EUS-FNA samples sometimes contain tumor cells that are too small to use for sequencing analysis by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based direct sequencing.…”
