Abstract. Endoscopic Ultrasonography (EUS) and Endoscopic Ultrasonography with Fine-Needle Aspiration (EUS-FNA) as an invasive methods are associated with a chance of adverse events. The unique properties of the echoendoscop and its ability to acquire tissue outside of the gastrointestinal lumen impart risks that are not associated with routine endoscopic procedures. Increased risks are connected to the safety of the needle insertion route, presence of blood disorders in patient etc. In this review we discuss frequency of adverse events related to EUS-FNA of solid masses.
