“…EUS-FNA has been successfully used for the staging of CCA before consideration of liver transplantation [4][5][6][7][8] . The technique has been extensively used to biopsy the bile duct, gallbladder [6,7] , hepatic hilum [8] , regional lymph nodes [9] pancreatic lesions [10] and hepatic lesions [11] as well as for aspiration of malignant ascites [12] . CT guided FNA has been utilized to biopsy peritoneal and omental masses [13] .…”

In this report, a patient was exposed to an herbal re medy for hypercholesterolemia. She became acutely jaundiced while taking the remedy and presented for medical care. Endoscopic ultrasound was utilized, and found a distal common bile duct mass. Endosco pic retrograde cholangiopancreatography guided bile duct biopsies revealed that the mass was cholangio carcinoma (CCA). This case highlights a unique associa tion between autoimmune hepatitis and CCA. It also highlights that EUS can be safely used in patients with cirrhosis to spare invasive evaluation such as explora tory laporotomy for diagnosis and staging of cholangio carcinoma.© 2010 Baishideng.

“…EUS-FNA established a tissue diagnosis in 8 of the 9 cases. The diagnostic accuracy of transabdominal ultrasonography, abdominal CT, MRI, and EUS/EUS-FNA were 38%, 69%, 92%, and 94%, respectively [16] . Another retrospective study evaluated the sensitivity and complications of EUS-FNA of liver nodules in 14 patients, performed by single endoscopist [19] .…”

Usefulness of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration in the diagnosis of hepatic, gallbladder and biliary tract Lesions. World J Gastrointest Oncol 2014; 6(11): 420-429 Available from: URL: http://www.wjgnet.com/1948-5204/full/v6/i11/420.htm DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4251/wjgo.v6.i11.420 INTRODUCTIONEndoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) has become an indispensable diagnostic and therapeutic procedure in the field of gastroenterology coupling endoscopy with high frequency echo sonography. Endoscopic ultrasoundguided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is performed using the curved linear array echoendoscope (Figure 1) using various needles (Figure 2). The recently introduced forward viewing linear echoendoscope is gaining momentum in endoscopic ultrasound-guided interventions (Figure 1). EUS-FNA is minimally invasive that is utilized for procurement of tissue from unresectable tumors. EUS-guided fine needle aspiration is used increasingly for the diagnosis of mediastinal, pancreatic and gastric tumors, however, not much is known about EUS-FNA in hepatic lesions. EUS imaging of the liver is currently limited to the left lobe, the proximal right lobe, the hilum and part of the intrahepatic biliary tract. EUS-FNA may be considered as an alternative to liver percutaneous biopsy in patients at high risk of bleeding or with small lesions of the liver uncharacterized by cross-sectional abdominal imaging. EUS-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) was developed using a curved linear array echoendoscope for cases with failed endoscopic biliary drainage. Table 1 AbstractEndoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) of the liver is a safe procedure in the diagnosis and staging of hepatobiliary malignancies with a minimal major complication rate. EUS-FNA is useful for liver lesions poorly accessible to other imaging modalities of the liver. EUS-guided FNA of biliary neoplasia and malignant biliary stricture is superior to the conventional endoscopic brushing and biopsy.
