There are few reports on the histological diagnostic ability of endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) in a large-series of pancreatic masses. In the present study therefore we retrospectively evaluated the histological diagnostic ability of EUS-FNA in pancreatic masses without on-site cytopathologist. In 355 patients with pancreatic solid masses, EUS-FNA was carried out. EUS-FNA histology showed accuracy, 90.7%; sensitivity, 89.5%; specificity, 95.6%; positive predict value, 98.8%; negative predict value, 68.8% by intention-to-treat analysis. Except for 10 with inadequate materials, EUS-FNA histology showed accuracy, 93.3%; sensitivity, 91.8%; specificity, 100%; positive predict value, 100%; negative predict value, 77.6%. The mean number of puncture was 2.88 (range 1 to 8). There was two (0.6%) procedure-related bleeding. In conclusion, diagnostic ability of EUS-FNA by histological materials was similar to previous literature on the EUS-FNA without on-site cytopathologist.
