Material was adequate in 62 cases (79.48%) and inadequate in 16 cases (12.82%) patients due to scant cellularity. Of the adequate samples, 34 (43.5%) were reported as neoplastic while 20 (25.64%) were non-neoplastic, and 8 (10.25%) were reported as suspicious of a neoplasm. In the neoplastic category, the predominant diagnosis was of spindle cell neoplasm comprising gastrointestinal stromal tumor (13), benign neural tumor (03), leiomyoma (02), and spindle cell tumors (03). The latter could not be categorized further due to a lack of IHC material. The next common diagnosis was adenocarcinoma (06) followed by neuroendocrine tumor (02) and poorly differentiated carcinoma (01). The non-neoplastic lesions included non-specific pathology (15), inflammatory lesions (08), and one case each of tuberculosis, pancreatic rest, and Brunner gland hamartoma. Cell blocks for ancillary testing were available in 54 cases (65.23%) and follow-up was available in 42 cases (53.84%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
