Abstract

Abstract: Pancreatic cytopathology is recognized as a rapid, reliable, safe and cost-beneficial modality of investigation of pancreatic mass lesions. Optimal cytodiagnosis depends on multiple factors including sample quality, and expertise of the cytopathologist and endoscopist. This article discusses key cytologic features of specific tumor types, specimen handling, differential diagnoses and pitfalls.
