Aims Focal splenic lesions (SLs) are rarely detected in splenic parenchyma but frequentlyrequire pathological analysis. Transabdominal ultrasound or computed tomography (CT)-guidedpercutaneous biopsies represent the standard techniques to obtain splenic samples, howeverendoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) has been described as analternative technique. The aim of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fineneedle biopsy (EUS-FNB) in patients with SLs.
