Core Tip	We report a case of a 42-year-old female patient who suffered non-functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (PNETs) but was misdiagnosed for 4 years. After the 3-year follow-up, she was misdiagnosed with autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) through radiography and underwent 1 year of corticosteroid therapy, but her symptoms worsened. Biopsy via EUS-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA/FNB) made a correct diagnosis of non-functional PNETs, and pancreatectomy resolved the symptoms. Therefore, we propose that EUS-FNA/FNB should be performed if imaging characteristics are equivocal or the diagnosis is in question.
