Abstract
Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is the first-choice procedure for obtaining pathological tissue samples from gastrointestinal (GI) subepithelial lesions (SELs). However, its diagnostic accuracy is lower than that for pancreatic masses owing to puncture difficulty and the need for immunostaining for definitive diagnosis. The advent of fine-needle biopsy needles, which have become well known in recent years, improves the diagnostic accuracy of EUS-FNA for GI SELs. The forward-viewing echoendoscope and rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) have also helped to improve diagnostic accuracy. Furthermore, in facilities where ROSE is not available, endosonographers perform a macroscopic on-site evaluation. With these procedural innovations, EUS-FNA is now performed aggressively even for SELs smaller than 20 mm. The incidence of procedure-related adverse events such as bleeding and infection is low, and thus, EUS-FNA can be safely performed to diagnose SELs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is often located in the pleura, while SFT of the pancreas is extremely rare. Here, we report a case of SFT of the pancreas and discuss imaging, histopathology, and immunohistochemistry for accurate diagnosis and treatment. CASE SUMMARY A 54-year-old man presented to our hospital with pancreatic occupancy for over a month. There were no previous complaints of discomfort. His blood pressure was normal. Blood glucose, tumor markers, and enhanced computed tomography (CT) suggested a malignant tumor. Because the CT appearance of pancreatic cancer varies, we could not confirm the diagnosis; therefore, we performed endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy (EUS-FNB). Pathology and immunohistochemistry were consistent with SFT of the pancreas. The postoperative pathology and immunohistochemistry were consistent with the puncture results. The patient presented for a follow-up examination one month after discharge with no adverse effects. CONCLUSION Other diseases must be excluded in patients with a pancreatic mass that cannot be diagnosed. CT and pathological histology have diagnostic value for pancreatic tumors. Endoscopic puncture biopsy under ultrasound can help diagnose pancreatic masses that cannot be diagnosed preoperatively. Surgery is an effective treatment for SFT of the pancreas; however, long-term follow-up is strongly recommended because of the possibility of malignant transformation of the tumor.

Abstract
A 50-year-old man with a history of total gastrectomy, distal pancreatectomy, splenectomy, and Roux-en-Y reconstruction was admitted to our hospital with a gallbladder tumor that had infiltrated the liver and abdominal wall. Because malignant cells were not collected during the percutaneous biopsy, we planned to perform an endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy with a 22-G Franseen needle using a forward-viewing echoendoscope. Using intermittent manual compression, the forward-viewing echoendoscope reached the duodenum under fluoroscopic guidance. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy was performed using a 22-G needle and 20-mL syringe and yielded a sufficient specimen with a single puncture. Malignant cells were promptly identified during on-site evaluation. The composition of the specimen (> 20% cancer cells and tissue area exceeding 25 mm2) enabled comprehensive genomic profiling. Subsequently, high-tumor mutational burden was diagnosed based on comprehensive genomic profiling, and pembrolizumab was initiated as a second-line therapy. Even in cases involving Roux-en-Y reconstruction, endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy using a forward-viewing echoendoscope can result in collection of a high-quality specimen.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) is a widely used modality for acquiring various target samples, but its efficacy in gallbladder masses is unknown. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of EUS-FNB in patients with gallbladder masses. METHODS The study samples were composed of patients from March 2015 to July 2019 who needed to identify the nature of gallbladder masses through EUS-FNB. The outcomes of this study were the adequacy of specimens, diagnostic yields, technical feasibility, and adverse events of the EUS-FNB in gallbladder masses. RESULTS A total of 27 consecutive patients with a median age of 58 years were included in this study. The 22-gauge FNB needle was feasible in all lesions. The median follow-up period of the patients was 294 days. The specimens sufficient for diagnosis account for 89% (24/27) and 93% (25/27) in cytology and histology, respectively. The overall diagnostic yields for malignancy showed the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy were 95.45% [95% confidence interval (CI): 75.12%-99.76%], 100% (95% CI: 46.29%-100%), 100% (95% CI: 80.76%-100%), 83.33% (95% CI: 36.48%-99.12%), and 96.30% (95% CI: 80.20%-99.99%), respectively. The subgroup analysis revealed that FNB could obtain sufficient specimens and high diagnostic yields in both gallbladder mass < 20.5 mm group and ≥ 20.5 mm group. One patient experienced mild abdominal pain after the procedure and recovered within one day. CONCLUSIONS EUS-FNB is a reasonable diagnostic tool for the pretreatment diagnosis of patients with gallbladder masses, especially for patients who may miss the opportunity of surgery and need sufficient specimens to identify the pathological type so as to determine chemotherapy regimens. Further large-scale studies are needed to confirm our conclusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This prospective cohort study evaluated the feasibility of using endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) samples for comprehensive mutational analysis of cancer-related genes using microtissues. METHODS Fifty patients with suspected pancreatic cancer presenting consecutively at the Kindai University Hospital between January 2018 and January 2019 were enrolled. Cancerous tissues from EUS-FNB were obtained from each tumor and subjected to histological examination and mutational analysis. The primary endpoint was the collection rate of EUS-FNB specimens suitable for comprehensive cancer panels using deep sequencing. Clinical history and genetic variations between the disease control and progressive disease groups of patients on chemotherapy were evaluated as secondary endpoints. RESULTS The collection rate of EUS-FNB specimens suitable for comprehensive cancer panels using deep sequencing was 93.6%. The cancer panel was sequenced for 25 patients with pancreatic cancer treated initially with systemic chemotherapy. Mutation in p53 and Smad4 were positively and negatively associated, respectively, with disease control at the initial evaluation. The median time to progression in 15 patients with p53 and without Smad4 mutations was 182.0 days; whereas, it was 92.5 days in other 10 patients; this difference was significant (p = 0.020). CONCLUSIONS Tissue samples from EUS-FNB were suitable for mutational analysis. Pancreatic cancers with p53 and without Smad4 mutations responded better to chemotherapy and had a better prognosis than those others.

Abstract
A 70-year-old man with epigastric pain was referred to our hospital. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed the diffusely enlarged pancreas compared to his normal pancreas 6 months prior to presentation. Serum levels of IgG4 and amylase were normal, while C-reactive protein was slightly elevated. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy of the pancreas revealed acinar-ductal metaplasia with neutrophil infiltration and without infiltration of IgG4-positive plasma cells. After the clinical diagnosis of type 2 autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP), his symptoms spontaneously improved without steroid therapy. Three months later, radiological findings showed improved pancreas size and serological findings. The pathological diagnosis of type 2 AIP using endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy is challenging, particularly for proving granulocyte epithelial lesions. This was a valuable type 2 AIP case in which the images before, at the time of onset, and at the time of spontaneous remission were evaluated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intestinal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (NKTCL) is a rare and aggressive non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and its occurrence is closely related to Epstein-Barr virus infection. In addition, the clinical symptoms of NKTCL are not obvious, and the specific pathogenesis is still uncertain. While NKTCL may occur in any segment of the intestinal tract, its distinct location in the periampullary region, which leads clinicians to consider mimics of a pancreatic head mass, should also be addressed. Therefore, there remain huge challenges in the diagnosis and treatment of intestinal NKTCL.
CASE SUMMARY In this case, we introduce a male who presented to the clinic with edema of both lower limbs, accompanied by diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) showed well-defined homogeneous hypoechoic lesions with abundant blood flow signals and compression signs in the head of the pancreas. Under the guidance of EUS- fine needle biopsy (FNB) with 19 gauge or 22 gauge needles, combined with multicolor flow cytometry immunophenotyping (MFCI) helped us diagnose NKTCL. During treatments, the patient was prescribed the steroid (dexamethasone), methotrexate, ifosfamide, L-asparaginase, and etoposide chemotherapy regimen. Unfortunately, he died of leukopenia and severe septic shock in a local hospital.
CONCLUSION Clinicians should enhance their understanding of NKTCL. Some key factors, including EUS characteristics, the right choice of FNB needle, and combination with MFCI, are crucial for improving the diagnostic rate and reducing the misdiagnosis rate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Immune checkpoint blockade has recently been reported to be effective in treating microsatellite instability (MSI)-high tumors. Therefore, sufficient sampling of histological specimens is necessary in cases of unresectable pancreatic cancer (UR-PC). This multicenter study investigated the efficacy of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) using a Franseen needle for MSI evaluation in patients with UR-PC. METHODS A total of 89 patients with UR-PC who underwent endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) or EUS-FNB using 22-G needles at three hospitals in Japan (2018-2021) were enrolled. Fifty-six of these patients (FNB 23 and FNA 33) were followed up or evaluated for MSI. Patient characteristics, UR-PC data, and procedural outcomes were compared between patients who underwent EUS-FNB and those who underwent EUS-FNA. RESULTS No significant difference in terms of sufficient tissue acquisition for histology was observed between patients who underwent EUS-FNB and those who underwent EUS-FNA. MSI evaluation was possible significantly more with tissue samples obtained using EUS-FNB than with tissue samples obtained using EUS-FNA (82.6% [19/23] vs. 45.5% [15/33], respectively; p<0.01). In the multivariate analysis, EUS-FNB was the only significant factor influencing the possibility of MSI evaluation. CONCLUSION EUS-FNB using a Franseen needle is desirable for ensuring sufficient tissue acquisition for MSI evaluation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are limited studies on the results of comprehensive genomic profiling testing for pancreatic cancer tissue specimens by endoscopic ultrasound-guided tissue acquisition (EUS-TA). This study aimed to evaluate the proportion of specimens obtained by EUS-TA using a 19-gauge (G) fine-needle biopsy (FNB) needle for unresectable pancreatic cancer (UR-PC) that met the OncoGuide™ NCC Oncopanel System (NOP) analysis suitability criteria. METHODS In this single-arm, prospective, phase II study, EUS-TA was performed using a 19G FNB biopsy needle in patients with suspected UR-PC based on a contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients who met the NOP analysis suitability criteria, with a threshold, expected value, α-error, and power of 40%, 70%, 0.025, and 0.9, respectively, and the planned number of enrolled patients was 33. The NOP analysis suitability criteria were defined as tumor cell content ≥ 20% and tissue size ≥ 4 mm2. RESULTS Thirty-three patients were enrolled. The procedural success rate was 100%, and the cytodiagnosis of class V was observed in all patients. The proportion of patients meeting the NOP analysis suitability criteria was 63.6% (95% CI 47.22-80.05), which satisfied the predefined criteria to be considered valid. Adverse events occurred in 9.0% of the patients. CONCLUSIONS The proportion of patients with UR-PC who met the NOP analysis suitability criteria for EUS-TA using a 19G FNB needle was effective for achieving the primary endpoint, making it a valid test method. Adverse events occurred at a higher rate than that previously reported.

Abstract
PURPOSE The utility of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) for gastric subepithelial lesions (SELs) has been reported. In this study, we examined the optimal number of needle punctures during EUS-FNB for gastric SELs without rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE). The factors that allowed for a single needle puncture to arrive at the correct diagnosis were also analyzed. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study of all patients who underwent EUS-FNB to evaluate gastric SELs between April 2015 and September 2020; 51 patients with 57 gastric SELs were enrolled. The optimal number of needle punctures was determined when additional needle passes did not increase diagnostic sensitivity by more than 10%. Factors allowing for only a single needle puncture to arrive at the correct diagnosis were identified by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. RESULTS EUS-FNB resulted in a definitive final diagnosis in 48 of 57 lesions (84%). Lesions in the gastric body (odds ratio [OR] 6.15, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.75-21.6; P < 0.01) and lesions punctured using a 22G Franseen needle (OR 3.61, 95% CI 1.07-12.3; P = 0.04) were independent factors that allowed for only a single needle puncture to arrive at the correct diagnosis. The optimal number of needle punctures for lesions using a 22G Franseen needle in the gastric body and other lesions was two and three, respectively. CONCLUSION The optimal number of needle punctures in EUS-FNB for gastric SELs without ROSE was two or three, depending on the location and type of needle used.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Although endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy is widely applied, there is no clear consensus on the optimal biopsy technique. We described a modified wet suction technique (MWEST) with the aim to compare the efficacy and safety between MWEST and the dry suction technique (DST). METHODS In this prospective, randomized, crossover, single-blinded study, patients with suspected pancreatic malignancy were randomized to the DST (group A) or MWEST (group B) for the first pass, and the two techniques were performed alternately. The primary outcome was the comparison of specimen adequacy and diagnostic yield between the techniques. Secondary outcomes included the macroscopic visible core length, blood contamination of specimens, and adverse events of both techniques. RESULTS From January 2019 to September 2019, 216 passes were performed in 50 patients. The specimen adequacy was significantly higher in "per-lesion" (P = 0.026), "per-pass" (cytology: P = 0.034; histology: P = 0.042), and first-pass analysis (P = 0.034) for MWEST than for DST. In diagnostic yield, MWEST showed significantly superior histological yield (P = 0.014) and first-pass analysis (κ: MWEST: 0.743 and DST: 0.519) compared with DST. The median macroscopic visible core lengths were 8 mm (interquartile range: 3.25-15 mm) and 10 mm (interquartile range: 5.25-15 mm) for DST and MWEST, respectively (P = 0.036). Blood contamination was significantly more serious in DST than in MWEST (cytology: P = 0.021; histology: P = 0.042). CONCLUSIONS Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy with MWEST resulted in significantly better quality of specimen, histological, and first-pass diagnostic yields and comparable safety compared with the DST. MWEST is preferred for endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy in pancreatic solid lesions.

Abstract
AIM Subepithelial lesions (SELs) are defined as being located under the mucosa. Presently, endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is commonly performed to diagnose SELs. With the development of new puncture needles, endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy (EUS-FNB), which allows for the acquisition of large tissue samples, has been proposed. However, studies on EUS-FNB of SELs measuring < 20 mm have not yielded satisfactory results. Therefore, we aimed to assess the performance and usefulness of EUS-FNB of SELs measuring less than < 20 mm. METHODS The present study included 62 patients who underwent EUS-FNA or EUS-FNB for SELs at our hospital between January 2015 and March 2019. EUS-FNA was performed using fine-needle aspiration needles, and EUS-FNB was performed using fine-needle biopsy needles. These needles, which come in different shapes and diameters, were compared in terms of their usefulness in performing procedures for SELs measuring ≥ 20 mm and those measuring < 20 mm. RESULTS For SELs measuring ≥ 20 mm, the use of needles with a large diameter, such as 19 or 20 G, resulted in significantly improved diagnostic rates. For SELs measuring < 20 mm, the use of FNB needles showed significantly improved diagnostic rates, regardless of the size of the puncture needles. CONCLUSION Even when SELs are less than 20 mm, they might have malignant potential, and histological diagnosis may be desirable in some cases. EUS-FNB has an advantage over EUS-FNA in the diagnosis of SELs measuring < 20 mm.

Abstract
Endoscopic ultrasound-guided minimally invasive tissue acquisition can be performed by two approaches as follows: Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) and endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy (EUS-FNB). These have been evolved into leading approaches and widely used for the histological diagnosis of tumors in the gastrointestinal tract and adjacent organs. However, the role of EUS-FNA and EUS-FNB in disease diagnosis and evaluation remains controversial. Although the incidence of surgery-associated complications remains low, the consequences of needle tract seeding can be serious or even life-threatening. Recently, increasing case reports of needle tract seeding are emerging, especially caused by EUS-FNA. This complication needs serious consideration. In the present work, we integrated these case reports and the related literature, and summarized the relevant cases and technical characteristics of needle tract seeding caused by EUS-FNA and EUS-FNB. Collectively, our findings provided valuable insights into the prevention and reduction of such serious complication.

Abstract
Solid pseudopapillary tumors of the pancreas are rare and typically occur in young women. Compared with pancreatic adenocarcinoma, solid pseudopapillary tumors are characterized by notable indolent biological behavior associated with a favorable prognosis. Despite their large size, these tumors rarely metastasize. Even in cases of hepatic metastasis, most lesions are usually solitary in distribution and are amenable to resection. We report a case of a 55-year-old man with a small solid pseudopapillary tumor (≤3-cm diameter) mimicking a pancreatic adenocarcinoma, with multiple hepatic metastases. The diagnosis was confirmed by endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy using a 22-G core needle. Unfortunately, rapid tumor progression led to patient mortality 5 months after diagnosis. To our knowledge, this is the first case report that describes a small solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas with multiple hepatic metastasis and poor prognosis in a patient who was diagnosed with this condition at the time of initial diagnosis.

Abstract
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided tissue acquisition is an indispensable technique for the diagnosis of many diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and adjacent structures. EUS-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is known for its high accuracy and low complication rate. However, the outcome of EUS-FNA highly depends on several factors such as the location and characteristics of the lesion, endosonographer's experience, technique of sampling and sample preparation, type and size of the needle used, and presence of a cytopathologist for rapid on-site examination. EUS-guided fine-needle biopsy is useful to obtain core tissue samples with relatively fewer passes. Aspiration of core tissue with preserved architecture is beneficial for the diagnosis of certain diseases and the performance of ancillary testing such as tumor molecular profiling. Issues related to needle size, type, and their acquired samples for cytologic and histologic evaluation are discussed here.
