Background

Endoscopic Ultrasound (Endoscopic Ultrasound) guided needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a rapid, reliable diagnostic procedure used in various benign and malignant pancreatic lesions.

Purpose

The present study was aimed to determine the diagnostic accuracy of endoscopic ultrasound-guided needle aspiration cytology (EUS-FNAC) in diagnosing pancreatic lesions.

Methods

The current study was a hospital-based prospective study.

n = 67 cases

Results

WHO-based cytology matched biopsy results in most cases, confirming its accuracy

PSC diagnostic accurac

70.14%

WHO diagnostic accurac

85.07%

More results

A total of 67 cases of radiologically detected pancreatic lesions were studied.

The study comprised a total of 67 pancreatic lesions cases with a mean age of 55.5 years and age range of 30–80 years.

The pancreatic head was the most involved site [29(43.28%) cases].

More results

Sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV and diagnostic accuracy were 84.6%, 60%, 58%, 85.71%&70.14% respectively.

Conclusion

Hence, it is helpful for initiating an early management strategy.
