Early detection of recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma by endosonographically guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy

Fine-needle aspiration guided by endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) has shown promising results in establishing the cytological diagnosis of lesions identified during endoscopic ultrasound examinations. We report here on a case of recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma diagnosed by EUS-guided biopsy in wh...

Description
Summary:	Fine-needle aspiration guided by endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) has shown promising results in establishing the cytological diagnosis of lesions identified during endoscopic ultrasound examinations. We report here on a case of recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma diagnosed by EUS-guided biopsy in which curative resection was possible as a result of early diagnosis.
