Key Points

  • Evaluate the effectiveness of endoscopic ultrasound-guided tissue acquisition for diagnosing hepatic malignant lymphoma.
  • Case report of a 62-year-old man with hepatic masses
  • Conducted endoscopic ultrasound-guided tissue acquisition using a 22-gauge fine-needle biopsy
  • Monitored for adverse events during the procedure
  • Successful diagnosis of high-grade T-cell lymphoma
  • No adverse events reported
  • Demonstration of EUS-TA as an alternative to percutaneous biopsy

Abstract

ABSTRACT A 62‐year‐old man with right upper quadrant pain and fever was found to have numerous hepatic masses. Endoscopic ultrasound‐guided tissue acquisition (EUS‐TA) using a 22‐gauge fine‐needle biopsy enabled diagnosis of high‐grade T‐cell lymphoma without adverse events. This case underscores the potential of EUS‐TA as a safe and effective alternative to percutaneous biopsy for hepatic malignant lymphoma.
