| Core Tip |
Despite its proven diagnostic utility, data on endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) in resource-constrained settings remains limited. This study evaluates the role of EUS in diagnosing gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) at a tertiary hospital in Pakistan. Among 14 patients, EUS-guided fine-needle biopsy achieved a 100% diagnostic yield, with the pancreas as the most common tumor site (57.1%). Histopathology revealed 78.6% as well-differentiated NETs, and metastases were observed in 57.1% of cases, primarily to the liver. EUS proved invaluable in detecting small lesions, assessing tumor depth, and guiding management, reinforcing its role as the gold standard for GEP-NET diagnosis in low-resource settings. |
