Diagnostic value of transbronchial needle aspiration cytology in sarcoidosis.
OBJECTIVE Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous inflammation that occurs as a result of disturbed immune regulation in individuals exposed to certain environmental agents. Although tissue sampling is considered the "gold standard" for the diagnosis of sarcoidosis, a medically treated disease, minimally invasive diagnostic methods are preferred instead of surgical tissue sampling. Transbronchi...
متن کاملDiagnostic yield of transbronchial needle aspiration--analysis of 30 cases.
BACKGROUND In our clinical set up transbonchial needle aspiration of lymph node and parenchymal lesions is an underutilized technique. This study was done to highlight the usefulness of this technique in the pulmonologists armamentarium. METHODS Thirty procedures were performed on patients with intrathoracic lymphadenopathy or parenchymal lung lesions in this study from October, 2006 to April...
متن کاملFlexible transbronchial needle aspiration in the diagnosis of sarcoidosis.
The histopathologic diagnosis of sarcoidosis requires the presence of noncaseating granulomas. Transbronchoscopic lung biopsy (TBLB) has been considered the procedure of choice when less invasive tissue samples are unavailable. A total of 51 consecutive patients suspected of having sarcoidosis underwent combined TBLB and flexible transbronchial needle aspirate (TBNA). In 18 of the 30 patients (...
متن کاملYield of transbronchial needle aspiration in diagnosis of mediastinal lesions.
STUDY OBJECTIVES To determine the transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) yield for procedures performed by fellows in training, and the predictors of positive TBNA yield at our center. DESIGN Retrospective chart review. SETTING A tertiary teaching hospital. PATIENTS One hundred seventy patients who underwent fiberoptic bronchoscopy with TBNA of mediastinal lesions from January 1991 to Ju...
متن کاملDefinite Ocular Sarcoidosis Using Endobronchial Ultrasonography with Transbronchial Needle Aspiration
Purpose. To introduce a minimally invasive procedure, endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA), to obtain a pathologic evidence of a definite ocular sarcoidosis in a patient who initially presented with presumed ocular sarcoidosis with pulmonary involvement. Methods. An EBUS-TBNA procedure was performed at perihilar lymph nodes, subcarina, and right paratrach...
