Pericardial tumor diagnosed by EUS-guided FNA (with video)

Endoscopic ultrasonography‐guided diagnosis of pericardial gastrointestinal stromal tumor: First case in the literature (with video)

“…2 There are reports in the literature where EUS-FNA was used to establish diagnosis in mediastinal masses. 3,4 To our knowledge, this is the first case where a diagnosis of a pericardial GIST was established using EUS-FNA.…”

“…Endoscopic ultrasonography‐guided fine‐needle aspiration in patients presenting with idiopathic mediastinal masses establishes the diagnosis in the vast majority of cases, particularly for those with malignant disease . There are reports in the literature where EUS‐FNA was used to establish diagnosis in mediastinal masses . To our knowledge, this is the first case where a diagnosis of a pericardial GIST was established using EUS‐FNA.…”

Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Vascular Procedures: A Review

“…41,42 Moreover, two Spanish groups reported the case studies of the EUS-FNAs of atrial and pericardial tumors. 43,44…”

EUS-guided vascular interventions

“…described EUS-guided FNA of a pericardial tumor. [ 92 ] No arrhythmias were noted. A stable 6-mm hyperechoic lesion at the puncture site, consistent with a hematoma, was noted after FNA.…”
