Abstract:
Pathological differentiation is important for suspected lesions of metastatic undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) because no reliable imaging criteria exist for this entity yet. In the present case, transgastric endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) for the pancreatic tumor and transcolonic EUS-FNA for the intraabdominal tumor contributed to the definitive diagnosis of metastatic UPS, leading to appropriate treatment selection.
