Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Drainage of Pelvic Fluid Collections with Lumen-Ap...

Abstract Introduction: A pelvic abscess is a potential life-threatening condition that should be managed conservatively whenever possible. Currently, computed tomography or ultrasound-guided percutaneous drainage is still the gold standard approach for pelvic fluid collections (PFCs) requiring intervention. More recently, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) drainage using lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMSs) has been use...

Uncommon Solid Pancreatic Neoplasm: The Role of New Modalities of Ultrasound En...

Undifferentiated carcinoma with osteoclast-like cells is a rare pancreatic neoplasm with unique ultrasound endoscopic features. A 59-year-old female presented with a 3-month history of weight loss. Abdominal computed tomography and endoscopic ultrasound showed a large pancreatic tumor with a heterogeneous echotexture and liver metastasis. Endoscopic ultrasound fine needle aspiration was used to establish the di...
