Du C, et al. – The present study was designed to assess the diagnostic value and safety mainly regarding incidents of endoscopic ultrasound–guided fine–needle aspiration (EUS–FNA) for pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs). For diagnosis of PCLs, EUS–FNA was effective and safe, however procedure–related incidents were common. In patients undergoing EUS–FNA, caution had to be taken.
