Abstract

In section ‘Fine needle aspiration biopsy of Pancreas’ specific interest is directed towards (1) diagnostic procedures such as endoscopic ultrasound-guided FNAB and pancreaticobiliary duct brushing, (2) advantage and disadvantage of liquid-based cytology, (3) benefit of additive DNA ploidy analysis, (4) non-tumorous and neoplastic cystic disorders, (5) cytology of variably-differentiated ductal adenocarcinomas.

Section ‘Extrahepatic Bile ducts and Ampulla of Vater’ is primarily concerned with (1) benign cytology and the problem of contaminants in brushings, (2) regenerative and dysplastic change of ductal cells posing challenge in the cytologic workup, (3) cytology of adenocarcinomas.

Diagnostic algorithms of benign, borderline, and malignant findings in exfoliative and aspiration cytology and respective differential diagnoses are additionally presented in a synoptic setup.
