Core Tip |
We performed a prospective study to investigate the reproducibility of in vivo endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) - guided needle based confocal endomicroscopy (nCLE) image patterns in an ex vivo setting and compare these to surgical histopathology for pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs). A total of 10 subjects underwent in vivo EUS-nCLE and subsequently ex vivo CLE of the PCL following surgical resection. Biopsies were obtained from ex vivo CLE-imaged areas for comparative histopathology. We found that characteristic in vivo nCLE patterns were observed during ex vivo pCLE of resected PCLs. Both in vivo and ex vivo CLE imaging findings correlated with surgical histopathology. These findings support the application of EUS-nCLE in the diagnosis of PCLs. |
