Article Synopsis
- This case report details a unique occurrence of splenic heterotopia found in the colon, diagnosed through an endoscopic ultrasound-guided biopsy.* -
- Splenic heterotopia is a benign condition where splenic tissue is located outside its normal site, often related to previous splenic trauma or removal, but this case had no such history.* -
- The presented case marks the first documented instance of primary intramural colic splenosis identified through histological and immunohistochemical techniques in this specific location.*
There are rare data on the usefulness of endosonography-guided tissue acquisition (EUS-TA) in patients with pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs). This study aimed to determine the accuracy of EUS-TA with ProCore 20G (PC20) for differentiating between mucinous neoplasia (MN) and non-MNs (n-MN) and identifying malignant PCLs, as well as its adverse events (AEs) in patients with PCLs without a classificatory diagnosis by imaging exams. In this observational, retrospective, single-center study, all patients with PCL who underwent EUS-TA due to diagnostic doubts in imaging studies were consecutively recruited from June 2017 to December 2021.

A few studies have investigated the role of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) for the diagnosis of SPN. We investigated the diagnostic yield of cell-blocks and immunohistochemistry (IHC) for SPN using EUS-FNA specimens without cytological evaluation.

The clinical suspicion and diagnosis are often challenging because of the lack of specific symptoms and conventional endoscopic findings. Three magnifying endoscopic signs of the gastric mucosa have been described as highly specific to the diagnosis of MALT lymphoma, such as (i) tree-like appearance of the microvessels; (ii) non-structural area; and (iii) ballooning crypt pattern.
