Abstract
Background: Cystic pancreatic lesions (CPL) are associated with a potential for malignant transformation. EUS-guided FNA is a widely used method for evaluating these lesions, but has limited sensitivity. Recently, in a non blinded pilot study we have shown that cytology samples obtained by through-the-needle cytologic brush at the time of EUS (EchoBrush, Cook Endoscopy, Winston-Salem, NC) has superior diagnostic yield compared to conventional FNA.
