Role of transesophageal endosonography-guided fine-needle aspiration in the diagnosis of lung cancer.
STUDY OBJECTIVE Bronchoscopic methods fail to diagnose lung cancer in up to 30% of patients. We studied the role of transesophageal endosonography (EUS)-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA; EUS-FNA) in such patients. DESIGN Prospective study. The final diagnosis was confirmed by cytology, histology, or clinical follow-up. SETTING University hospital. PATIENTS Thirty-five patients (30 male ...
متن کاملTransesophageal endoscopic ultrasound with fine needle aspiration in the preoperative staging of malignant pleural mesothelioma.
PURPOSE Surgical resection as part of a multimodality approach in malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) has a high morbidity and mortality. Because mediastinal lymph node (MLN) metastases are a negative prognostic factor, preoperative staging is of paramount importance. Transesophageal endoscopic ultrasound with real-time guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) enables accurate MLN staging in lu...
متن کاملSpinal meningioma diagnosis based on transesophageal endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA).
An 80-year-old woman with a history of mitral valve disease, pulmonary hypertension and atrial fibrillation was studied by asthenia and ferropenic anaemia. Colonoscopy revealed a polylobulated vegetant lesion occupying 60-70 % of the cecum, with a histopathological diagnosis of moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma. TAC showed a marked thickening of the cecum wall (5.8 x 4.9 x 3.7 cm) withou...
متن کاملFine Needle Aspiration
The recent report on fine needle aspiration was very interesting. Akhavan-Moghadam noted that “fine needle aspiration (FNA) is a useful atraumatic diagnostic technique with high diagnostic accuracy, which can provide a highly sensitive and low false positive diagnosis in patients with nonthyroidal masses” (1). It is interesting to discuss the diagnostic properties of FNA and its harmfulness. Ac...
متن کاملFine Needle Aspiration
Fine needle aspiration (FNA) is a well-established minimally invasive technique for the cytologic evaluation of suspicious mass lesions involving lymph nodes and other organs. The 2008 WHO classification of tumors of hematopoietic and lymphoid tissues utilizes a multiparametric approach based on cytomorphologic, immunophenotypic, and cytogenetic features to classify these tumors (1). This appro...
