Abstract

In chronic pancreatitis (CP) patients, diagnosis of small pancreatic lesions by endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is challenging. Thus, the aim of the present study was to investigate whether CP influences the diagnostic ability of EUS-FNA for pancreatic lesions ≤10 mm. One hundred and seventeen patients who underwent EUS-FNA for pancreatic lesions ≤10 mm in size were enrolled. Patients were classified into two groups based on features of CP observed by EUS (EUS-CP features) in accordance with the Rosemont classification. The CP group was defined as cases consistent with CP or suggestive of CP, and the non-CP group was defined as cases indeterminate for CP or normal. Factors influencing the diagnostic accuracy of EUS-FNA and CP status in pancreatic tumors were also investigated. Diagnostic ability of EUS-FNA (overall cases, non-CP vs CP) had sensitivity (80.4%, 96.7% vs 57.1%; P < 0.001), specificity (100%, 100% vs 100%; P > 0.05), and accuracy (91.5%, 98.6% vs 80.4%; P = 0.001). In multivariate analysis of factors influencing the accuracy of EUS-FNA, CP significantly lowered the accuracy (P = 0.048; odds ratio [OR] = 9.21). Among pancreatic cancer patients, the number of CP patients was significantl...Continue Reading
