Endobronchial ultrasonography with a guide sheath for pure or mixed ground-glass opacity lesions.
BACKGROUND Ground-glass opacity (GGO) lesions are difficult to diagnose by transbronchial biopsy (TBB). OBJECTIVES We attempted to diagnose solitary peripheral GGO predominant-type lesions by TBB using endobronchial ultrasonography with a guide sheath (EBUS-GS) under X-ray fluoroscopic guidance, and to evaluate several factors associated with diagnostic yield. METHODS The medical records of...
متن کاملMalignant Pure Pulmonary Ground-Glass Opacity Nodules: Prognostic Implications
OBJECTIVE This study was designed to evaluate follow-up results in terms of patient prognosis for malignant pulmonary nodules depicted as pure ground-glass opacity (GGO) lesion observed at high-resolution CT (HRCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS Surgical removal for malignant GGO nodules was accomplished in 58 patients (26 men, 32 women; mean age, 57 years; age range, 29-78 years). Patient prognoses ...
متن کاملRadial endobronchial ultrasound images for ground-glass opacity pulmonary lesions.
Radial endobronchial ultrasound (R-EBUS) is a useful tool for precise localisation of peripheral pulmonary lesions, but there have been no detailed reports about the use of R-EBUS images for ground-glass opacity (GGO). The R-EBUS images of 116 patients with GGO, who were diagnosed as having adenocarcinoma by R-EBUS with a guide sheath (EBUS-GS), were compared with the respective chest computed ...

irregular borders ( fig. 2 ). It was histologically diagnosed as a pure nonmucinous bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC) ( fig. 3 ). The patient was alive without signs of tumor recurrence 6 months later. BAC is known for low FDG uptake presumed to be secondary to the lower proliferation rate of these tumors [1] . Particularly low metabolic activity is observed in pure BAC, unifocal and mucin-con...
متن کاملA clinicopathological study of resected pulmonary nodules with focal pure ground-glass opacity.
OBJECTIVE Pulmonary lesions with focal ground-glass opacity (GGO) have been detected increasingly by low-dose helical computed tomography (CT). However, the strategy of treatment for focal pure GGO lesions is still undecided. This study evaluates clinicopathological characteristics of resected pulmonary nodules with focal pure ground-glass opacity. METHODS Between January 1997 and December 20...
