Abstract
To study the role of enteroclysis-guided percutaneous fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of focal small-bowel lesions. Twenty patients with non-palpable circumscribed small-bowel lesions found on enteroclysis underwent FNAC after confirmation of needle position under fluoroscopy. Positive diagnosis was obtained in 18 (90%) of the patients. Thirteen patients with positive FNAC and one with inconclusive cytology underwent surgery. In all, the cytological diagnosis was confirmed by histopathology. No complications were seen. Enteroclysis-guided FNAC of focal small-bowel lesions is a safe and accurate diagnostic method.
