ABSTRACT
Background and study aims Needle tract seeding during endoscopic ultrasound fine-needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) remains a concern. We investigated whether such seeding occurred in a patient with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA). Patient and methods Surgically resected and EUS-FNB-derived specimens were genotyped to determine if a gastric wall tumor that emerged 3 years after curative resection of an early-stage PDA was clonally related to the original tumor. Results The gastric tumor histologically resembled the primary PDA; the lesions also shared KRAS , SMAD4 , and RNF43 mutations. Genotyping of the preoperative EUS-FNB specimen, in which cancer was not detected, nevertheless revealed mutations that were identical to those in the resected primary and recurrent tumors. While the primary PDA had a low frequency of mutant SMAD4 , such mutations were highly prevalent in both the EUS-FNB and recurrent tumor specimens. Conclusions The genetic lineages of sampled tissues from our patient revealed that needle tract seeding may have incidentally occurred when a subset of neoplastic cells within a heterogeneous tumor ( i.âe. , an aggressive clone) was targeted during EUS-FNB.
