“…Regardless of the extremely rare occurrence of EUS-FNA-associated seeding metastases, they belong to late serious EUS-FNA-associated complications that may decrease the individual survival [ 7 ]. Thus far, only one multicentric Japanese study with six cases [ 10 ] and twenty-four case reports referring to needle tract seeding metastases of PDAC following EUS-guided sampling have been reported worldwide until 2022 [ 1 , 3 , 7 , 8 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ]. Moreover, only 20 cases of those documented seeding PDAC metastases have been solved surgically with resection so far [ 3 , 7 , 8 , 10 , 13 , 19 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ].…”
