Core Tip	Endoscopic ultrasound-fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is a common, reliable way of obtaining tissue from within the abdominal cavity. This review details the current evidence of optimizing EUS-FNA results for pancreatic lesions, specifically adenocarcinoma. EUS and cytology from rare pancreatic lesions are highlighted to demonstrate the wide variety of pancreatic lesions and the importance of cytopathology. Also covered are cystic lesions and the ability of EUS-FNA to differentiate cysts based on EUS appearance and aspiration analysis including new DNA analysis and measurement of k-ras mutation.
