Core Tip

Core tip: This case report proposes endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration as an applicable and more reliable method for preoperative diagnosis of abdominal bronchogenic cyst. This method is important preoperatively for surgeons because it helps to confirm the source of the tumor tissue and identifies whether the tumor is benign or malignant. More importantly, it provides surgeons with a better option for a more secure and feasible surgical treatment.
