Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Cystic pancreatic lesions (CPLs) are detected with increasing frequency. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) may provide detailed imaging of the CPLs. Additional diagnostic information may be obtained with EUS-guided fine-needle aspiration of the cyst contents and the subsequent cyst fluid analysis and cytology. This article is part of an expert video encyclopedia.
