| Abstract | The differential diagnosis of gastrointestinal subepithelial lesions (SELs) such as gastrointestinal stromal tumors from other benign tumors is important. In the present study, adequate sample rates of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) with a 22G Franseen needle for SELs were evaluated. The present study included 57 consecutive lesions (61 sessions) of EUS-FNA using a 22G needle to evaluate SELs between July 2013 and October 2017. Adequate sample rates were compared retrospectively between a 22G conventional needle group (C group) and a 22G Franseen needle group (F group). The overall adequate sample rate was 80.3%. The adequate sample rates in the C and F groups were 75.0% (33/44) and 94.1% (16/17), respectively (P=0.15). For lesions ≥20 mm, the adequate sample rates were 82.8% (24/29) in the C group and 91.7% (11/12) in the F group, 8.9% higher in the F group. However, for lesions <20 mm, the adequate sample rates were 60% (9/15) in the C group and 100% (5/5) in the F group, 40% higher in the F group (P=0.65, 0.26). In conclusion, the results of the present study suggested that using a 22G Franseen needle for EUS-FNA evaluation of SELs may improve adequate sample rates in small lesions <20 mm in diameter. |
