Article Abstract
EUS has become a substantial diagnostic and therapeutic modality for digestive tract conditions. The extent of endosonographic assessment is wide, and, among others, it allows for the evaluation of liver anatomy and related pathologies. Moreover, EUS assessment has proved more accurate in detecting small focal liver lesions missed by standard imaging examinations such as computed tomography or magnetic resonance. Endosonographically, various liver segments can be visualized by transgastric and transduodenal scanning following anatomical landmarks, thus providing arranged systematic examination. In addition, knowledge considering the correct position during examination is crucial for EUS-guided procedures such as hepaticogastrostomy, ablation of tumors, and measurement of portal pressure gradient. The evolution of EUS-guided intervention has contributed to the increasing importance of understanding the hepatic segmental anatomy during the EUS examination.

Background And Study Aims: Early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is crucial for improving patient prognosis. However, diagnosing pancreatic cancer in the absence of a distinct mass is challenging due to limitations of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA). Recent studies have suggested that serial pancreatic juice aspiration cytological examination (SPACE) for focal pancreatic duct stenosis may improve diagnostic yield in cases of pancreatic cancer without obvious mass.

Tuberculosis (TB) continues to be a major global health burden, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, where it contributes significantly to morbidity and mortality. While pulmonary TB is the most common form, extrapulmonary manifestations, including pancreatic TB, are rare and often pose diagnostic challenges. Isolated pancreatic TB in immunocompetent individuals is exceptionally uncommon and is rarely considered in the initial differential diagnosis of a pancreatic mass.

Introduction: Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a mesenchymal tumor and accounts for less than 2% of all soft tissue tumors. It is most commonly found in the pleura and has a relatively good prognosis.
Case Presentation: A 53-year-old woman was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and underwent a plain CT scan for preoperative examination.
