Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration in the diagnosis of foregut duplication cysts: The value of demonstrating detached ciliary tufts in cyst fluid

Abstract

EUS was superior compared with CT scanning in characterizing foregut duplication cysts. EUS-FNA is safe and accurate in the diagnosis of foregut duplication cysts. The demonstration of DCTs in cyst fluid and the absence of malignant cells confirmed the benign nature of these lesions, allowing conservative and expectant management for these patients.
