| Core Tip |
Diagnosis of malignant intra-abdominal lymph nodes is often challenging for endoscopists and radiologists. In the present study, the diagnostic accuracy for differentiating malignant from benign lymph nodes of standard endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS), color Doppler EUS, and contrast-enhanced harmonic (CH)-EUS relative to EUS-fine needle aspiration (FNA) was assessed. A secondary objective of the present study was to assess the N-stage diagnostic accuracy of CH-EUS and EUS-FNA in patients who underwent surgical resection. In conclusion, CH-EUS was more accurate than standard and color Doppler EUS, except the short axis cut-off. Notably, three patients excluded because of EUS-FNA failure were correctly N-staged by CH-EUS.
