10.4103/eus.eus_24_17 SpyGlass (Boston Scientific, SpyGlass Lightcource 4619, and SpyGlass Camera 4610, USA), a system designed for single-operator cholangioscopy and pancreatoscopy, has been proven to be feasible.[1] It was introduced for direct cholangiopancreatoscopic applications by passing through a duodenoscope in the process of Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). In this report, we present a case of pathologically proven mucinous cystic neoplasm (MCN), in which SpyGlass findings were obtained by introducing the fiber-optic into the cyst through a 19-gauge needle during endoscopic ultrasound (EUS).
