Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration using the bronchial ultrasound scope (EUS-B-FNA) for diagnosing pancreatic metastasis in a lung cancer patient case report

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy (EUS-FNA) of the pancreas is performed routinely in many endoscopic centers as part of the diagnostic set-up for suspected pancreatic cancer. The use of transesophageal bronchoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-B-FNA) by pu...

description Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy (EUS-FNA) of the pancreas is performed routinely in many endoscopic centers as part of the diagnostic set-up for suspected pancreatic cancer. The use of transesophageal bronchoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-B-FNA) by pulmonologists has expanded significantly, since it enables effective diagnosis of lesions in the mediastinum and upper abdomen. The following case demonstrates the safety and feasibility of EUS-B-FNA in a patient with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cancer and a pancreatic mass of unknown origin. A patient who was previously diagnosed with NSCLC was referred to the Department of Respiratory Medicine, Odense University Hospital due to suspected recurrence of NSCLC. The patient underwent endobronchial ultrasound guided (EBUS)-FNA from several suspected mediastinal lymph nodes and combined EUS-B-FNA from a pancreatic mass during the same procedure. Pathology results from the pancreatic mass and from the mediastinal lymph nodes showed squamous-cell carcinoma, metastasis from the previous NSCLC. We here by demonstrated that EUS-B-FNA is a feasible and safe technique to obtain tissue samples from pancreatic lesions in patients under investigation for lung cancer.
