    Aim To highlight an unusual diagnostic method of a pancreatic cystic tumor with minimal solid component.

    Methods and Results Endoscopic ultrasound performed in a 78-year-old male revealed a pancreatic transonic mass of 86/66 mm, relatively well defined, with hyperechoic septum and minimal solid content. We inserted a small biopsy forceps via a 19 Ga needle and collected solid tissue which resulted in fibrosis with red blood cells, rare lymphocytes and no epithelial/malignant cells.

    Conclusions This is an innovative method using a small biopsy forceps through a 19 Gauge needle during EUS with accurate results of the specimen.
