Diagnosis of gastrointestinal tract lesions by endoscopic ultrasound‐guided fine‐needle aspiration biopsy

Endoscopic ultrasound‐guided fine‐needle aspiration biopsy (EUS‐FNA) allows detailed imaging of both intramural and extramural structures of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and also allows tissue samples to be obtained from masses and lesions in the GI tract. The objective of the current study was to determine the diagnostic utility of EUS‐FNA in evaluating intramural and extramural GI tract lesions.
