| Core Tip |
This multicenter observational study provides a broad overview of the endo-sonographic characteristics of solid pancreatic lesions, with detailed descriptions for each pathology and a predictive analysis of the most significant variables for key differential diagnoses. While existing literature touches on this topic, no prior study has analyzed endo-sonographic features with such a large sample size and comprehensive analysis. Our findings can aid clinical practice by optimizing the diagnostic process for solid pancreatic lesions, preventing both false negatives (delayed diagnosis) and false positives (unnecessary surgical intervention), and simultaneously supporting biopsy diagnosis when it is doubtful or inconclusive. |
