“…[ 13 ] Therefore, EUS-guided tissue acquisition can be a useful diagnostic method when a core biopsy tissue is necessary for a pathological confirmation. [ 14 15 ] In the present case, based on the EUS-FNA cytology findings, other tumors demonstrating dispersed plasmacytoid cell patterns, such as pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, melanoma, and lymphoma with plasmacytic differentiation, could be considered in the differential diagnosis. Additional immunostaining using the FNAB specimen was helpful in confirming the diagnosis.…”

Pancreatic adenocarcinoma may account for more than 80% of all pancreatic neoplasms. Occasionally, other rare tumors such as lymphoma, metastatic tumor, and solid pseudopapillary neoplasm can be considered in the differential diagnosis. We report the case of an 82-year-old man with a pancreatic solid mass. This case suggests that endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) with biopsy, that is, EUS-FNA is recommended in the differential diagnosis of the pancreatic solid mass apart from pancreatic adenocarcinoma. In particular, the histologic core obtained by EUS-guided biopsy is helpful for the immunostaining of molecular markers to confirm the final diagnosis.

Social networks are useful in the study of relationships between individuals or entire populations, and the ties through which any given social unit connects. Those represent the convergence of the various social contacts of that unit. Consequently, the term "social networking service" (SNS) became extremely familiar. Similar to familiar SNSs, International Digestive Endoscopy Network (IDEN) 2014 was based on an international network composed of an impressive 2-day scientific program dealing with a variety of topics for gastrointestinal (GI) diseases, which connects physicians and researchers from all over the world. The scientific programs included live endoscopic demonstrations and provided cutting-edge information and practice tips as well as the latest advances concerning upper GI, lower GI, and pancreatobiliary endoscopy. IDEN 2014 featured American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy-Korean Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE-KSGE)-joint sessions prepared through cooperation between ASGE and KSGE. Furthermore, IDEN 2014 provided a special program for young scientists called the 'Asian Young Endoscopist Award Forum' to foster networks, with many young endoscopists from Asian countries taking an active interest and participation.

“…Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) with tissue acquisition plays a pivotal role in the diagnosis of different diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and adjacent structures[ 1 ] and is known as well for its high accuracy and low complication rate. [ 2 ] Moreover, EUS-FNA has proven to be helpful in obtaining tissue samples from mediastinal lesions.…”
