    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Diagnostic Cytopathology

    Background:

    • Pancreatic masses present diagnostic challenges.
    • Accurate preoperative diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of peroperative fine needle pancreatic aspiration (FNPA) for diagnosing suspected pancreatic masses.

    Main Methods:

    • Performed peroperative fine needle pancreatic aspirations on 16 patients with suspected pancreatic masses.
    • Analyzed aspirates for benign and malignant cells, classifying tumor types where possible.

    Main Results:

    • Seven of 16 aspirates showed benign cells.
    • Nine of 16 aspirates revealed malignant cells.
    • Eight malignant aspirates were classifiable by tumor type.

    Conclusions:

    • Fine needle pancreatic aspiration is a highly accurate and rapid diagnostic tool.
    • The procedure is uncomplicated and avoids risks associated with pancreatic biopsy.
    • FNPA provides definitive diagnoses, enabling appropriate surgical management.
