The advent of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) or
echoendoscopy (EE) represented a breaking point in the localization
and diagnosis of PNETs (1-4) (insulinomas, gastrinomas,
glucagonomas, non-functioning, etc.) as it provided a
high yield (sensitivity around 90%, specificity at 98%) (5-
10) only second to EUS-FNA (almost 100%) (10-15).
New EUS-related technologies such as contrast media
and elastography have also improved PNET localization
(16-22) with percentages matching those obtained with
EUS-FNA.
