Core Tip Pancreatic cystic and mixed lesions remain diagnostically challenging because conventional imaging and cyst fluid analysis may not reliably differentiate benign from premalignant or malignant lesions. In this retrospective cohort of 60 patients, Endoscopic ultrasound-fine needle biopsy using a 22G needle was feasible, with 100% technical success, 95% specimen adequacy, 85% diagnostic yield, and no procedure-related adverse events identified after medical-record review. Complete concordance with surgical histopathology was observed in the 10 resected patients, but this selected subgroup is not sufficient to estimate overall diagnostic accuracy. These results suggest that endoscopic ultrasound-fine needle biopsy can provide valuable histologic tissue for lesion characterization, particularly in mixed lesions, while prospective comparative studies remain necessary.
