Background: The diagnosis of suspected spindle cell neoplasms (SCNs) of the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract by fine needle aspiration (FNA) is challenging. Of late, various specially designed fine needle biopsy (FNB) needles have become available for better tissue acquisition and histomorphological analysis. We described here our experience of tissue acquisition and adequacy for histomorphologic analysis and immunohistochemistry by using a multilayer coil sheath nitinol-based FNA needle with Menghini tip.
