Core Tip	The diagnosis of metastatic disease by evaluation of ascites is crucial in the treatment strategy for suspected malignancy. Endoscopic ultrasound guided paracentesis is an accurate and useful diagnostic tool for the sampling of minimal amounts of ascites and should be considered during the staging workup of known or suspected malignancies.
