Interobserver agreement among expert pathologists on through-the-needle microforceps biopsy samples for evaluation of pancreatic cystic lesions

The recent development of microforceps for EUS through-the-needle biopsy (TTNB) sampling of the wall of pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs) allows the collection of histologic specimens never handled and evaluated before by pathologists. We aimed to estimate the interobserver agreement among pathologists in evaluating such samples.TTNB specimen slides from 40 PCLs with worrisome features were retrieved and independently evaluated for specimen...
