Local Recurrence due to Needle Tract Seeding after Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Fine-Needle Aspiration for Pancreatic Tail Cancer: A Case Report
This case illustrates the risk of NTS following EUS-FNA for pancreatic tail cancer, particularly when the puncture route is not resected during pancreatectomy. Despite neoadjuvant chemotherapy, NTS occurred, indicating that this risk cannot be fully prevented. Surgical resection achieved disease control, underscoring the importance of vigilant follow-up and timely intervention in managing this rare but clinically significant complication.
