Abstract
EUS-FNA has a low sensitivity for pancreatic-mass lesions in the setting of CP. This decreased sensitivity can be overcome by performing more numbers of passes at FNA, which improves diagnostic accuracy. Demographic features and clinical presentation are predictive of underlying CP in patients with pancreatic-mass lesions.
