“…Our diagnostic yield of EUS-FNA of 78 % for pancreatic lesions is lower than reported in recent randomized trials [19]. However, studies with comparable methodologies have reported similar diagnostic yield [48]. Furthermore, our DY for EUS-FNA is higher than the recommended threshold of 70 % for quality indicators in EUS [49].…”

“…The largest limitation of CT is its inability to detect small volume metastatic disease involving the liver and peritoneum. It is estimated that 20-30 % of patients undergoing diagnostic workup for pancreatic cancer using CT alone have unsuspected metastases [10,11]. Another available imaging modality is magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) combined with magnetic resonance angiography (MRA).…”

“…[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] Fine-needle biopsy is widely practiced in Africa as evidenced by the many publications on the topic, only a few of which are cited. [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] Reports on the use of FNAB in Ethiopia have appeared, including diagnosis of solitary thyroid nodules, 26 soft-tissue lesions, 27 breast lesions, 28 lymphadenopathy, 29 superficial malignancies, 30 the use of ultrasound-guided FNAB, 31 and various case reports.…”

Context.—Most of the population in Ethiopia lives below the poverty line with severely limited access to health care. The burden of infectious diseases is high, but benign and malignant neoplasms are also encountered frequently. For diagnosis of palpable lesions in this setting, fine-needle aspiration biopsy is the method of choice. Objective.—To present findings from several patients from 3 major hospitals in Ethiopia who underwent fine-needle aspiration biopsy. Data Sources.—Representative cytopathology cases of routinely encountered problems are shown. Often patients present with clinically advanced lesions. Staffing, technique, and equipment used for fine-needle aspiration biopsy are described at Black Lion Hospital (Addis Ababa), the University of Gonder Hospital (Gonder), and Ayder Referral Hospital of Mekelle University in the Tigray region of northern Ethiopia. Conclusions.—Fine-needle aspiration biopsy is a highly effective method for diagnosis of mass lesions, especially in an environment with sparse health care resources, such as Ethiopia. This article illustrates the work of Ethiopian cytopathologists and emphasizes the constraints under which they perform their work.
