The role of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) with flow cytometry for the diagnosis of primary pancreatic lymphoma (PPL) has not been previously described. Our aims were to describe the EUS features of PPL and the role of EUS-FNA with and without flow cytometry in the diagnosis of 16 patients. When EUS-FNA with flow cytometry was compared with EUS-FNA without flow cytometry, the sensitivities for diagnosing non-Hodgkin's lymphoma were 84.6 % versus 30.8 %, respectively ( P = 0.01). EUS-FNA with flow cytometry is a valuable tool to diagnose PPL. Flow cytometry analysis complements traditional assessment by standard cytology.
内镜超声引导下细针抽吸(EUS-FNA)联合流式细胞术在原发性胰腺淋巴瘤(PPL)诊断中的作用尚未见报道。我们的目的是描述 PPL 的 EUS 特征,以及 EUS-FNA 联合和不联合流式细胞术在 16 例患者中的诊断作用。当 EUS-FNA 联合流式细胞术与 EUS-FNA 不联合流式细胞术相比时,诊断非霍奇金淋巴瘤的敏感性分别为 84.6%和 30.8%(P=0.01)。EUS-FNA 联合流式细胞术是诊断 PPL 的有价值工具。流式细胞术分析补充了传统的标准细胞学评估。
