## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. The role of endoscopic ultrasoundβguided fineβneedle aspiration (EUSβFNA) in the evaluation of spindle cell and mesenchymal lesions is unclear. This study reviews the use of EUSβFNA in diagnosing intrathoracic and intraβabdominal spindle and mesenchymal cell lesions at a
## Background: Computerized tomographic (ct)-guided fine-needle aspiration (fna) cytology is a well-established tool in the diagnosis of hepatic lesions. endoscopic ultrasound-guided fna (eus-fna), developed recently and used predominantly in evaluating mediastinal and pancreatic lesions, provides
## BACKGROUND. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNA) has been successful in diagnosing epithelial lesions of the breast. Its role in the evaluation of spindle cell and mesenchymal lesions of the breast, which include a variety of benign and malignant conditions, is less clear. This article discusses
