ABSTRACT
Background and aim:
Endoscopic ultrasound [EUS] and the subsequent EUS-guided fine needle aspirate [EUS-FNA] represent a major breakthrough in interventional methods especially for sampling suspicious-appearing lymph nodes. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the diagnostic yield EUS-FNA in setting of a given abdominal and/or mediastinal lymph nodes. Also, to detect the echo- features that may predict lymph node malignant potentials
