EUS-guided needle-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (nCLE) findings in cystic lesions of the pancreas (CLP)

Aim: Describe EUS-guided nCLE findings of CLP Background: Diagnosis of cystic tumors of the pancreas is challenging. nCLE enables real time images of the cyst during EUS/FNA that suggest mucinous lesions. No complications were present Discussion: The presence of villous and epithelial structures dur...

Summary:Aim: Describe EUS-guided nCLE findings of CLP Background: Diagnosis of cystic tumors of the pancreas is challenging. nCLE enables real time images of the cyst during EUS/FNA that suggest mucinous lesions. No complications were present Discussion: The presence of villous and epithelial structures during nCLE for the evaluation of cystic tumors of the pancreas supports the diagnosis of mucinous neoplasia.
