The diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma is usually centered around cross-sectional imaging (CSI) modalities. However, in some instances focal hepatic lesions may be missed on CSI. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has an evolving role in hepatology and have been shown to be useful in diagnosing focal lesions with advantages of tissue acquisition. We report a case hepatitis B-related cirrhosis presenting with acute decompensation, wherein EUS was used to identify HCC and perform tissue acquisition as CSI was non-diagnostic.

Ménétrier's disease is a rare gastritis. Although there were some pathological features under gastroscopy, the depth of mucosal infiltration observed was not enough, and it was difficult to distinguish from other gastric mucosal lesions. A biopsy guided by gastroscopy is not deep enough and may lead to misdiagnosis due to incomplete sampling of the entire gastric mucosa.

Signet-ring cell carcinoma is a poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma with a high degree of malignancy, which rarely occurs in hilar bile duct. As far as I know, this is the third signet-ring cell carcinoma of hilar cholangiocarcinoma found so far. We used endoscopic ultrasound（EUS） and per-oral cholangioscopy（POCPS） to make a definite diagnosis.

Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is the standard method for sampling mediastinal/hilar lymph node disease. However, the smaller samples obtained via needle aspiration have a lower diagnostic rate for benign compared to malignant diseases. The low diagnostic rates have been reported to be improved through using endobronchial ultrasound-guided intranodal forceps biopsy (EBUS-IFB), but the implementation of IFB presents technical challenges, as described with variable results in certain studies.
