Core Tip	Cell-block procedure (CBP) represents the most suitable complement in diagnostic cytopathology of many gastrointestinal lesions. Hence this method allows high quality morphological evaluation and immunocytochemical analyses. On this way, the differ-ential diagnosis of solid gastrointestinal neoplasms may be more easily achieved and the background of contaminant non-neoplastic gastrointestinal avoided, with an evident gain compared to the traditional cytological techniques. In the present review, the application of CBP in gastrointestinal solid lesions approached by endoscopic ultrasound-guided-fine-needle-aspiration, the methodological aspects and the accuracy of this diagnostic process are analyzed and discussed.
