Transesophageal Endoscopic Ultrasound-guided Fine Needle Aspiration for the Diagnosis of a Lung Nodule that Was Non-abutting on CT
An 80-year-old man presented with a right side lung tumor. The tumor was not abutting the bronchus or chest wall; thus, endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) and CT-guided biopsy were considered to be technically difficult. We therefore attempted endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA). Although the nodule was not abutting the esophagus on CT, an irregularly shaped hypoechoic le...
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 کاملEndoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Fine-Needle Aspiration Vs Fine-Needle Biopsy.
RM The primary goal of fine-needle aspiration is to acquire individual cells as opposed to tissue, which is the aim of fine-needle biopsy. Cells may not necessarily provide the stroma, or the associated architecture, of the surrounding tissue. Thus, if the surrounding architecture is needed to make a diagnosis, a fine-needle biopsy, which typically uses a core biopsy needle, should provide that.
متن کاملUsefulness of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration for lymphadenopathy
Lymphadenopathy may be difficult to diagnose using imaging results alone. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) may help to diagnose and determine the appropriate management of lymphadenopathy. EUS-FNA has been used as a safe and less invasive method for obtaining pathologic specimens from extraluminal lesions using endoscopic ultrasound. The present study evaluated the ...
متن کاملEndoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration of a pericardial mass.
The prevalence of primary pericardial neoplasms ranges from about 0.001%– 0.007%. Primary malignant pericardial mesothelioma is extremely rare, with a reported prevalence of 0.0022% in autopsy series [1]. Although malignant mesothelioma is the most common primary malignancy of the pericardium, only approximately 350 cases of pericardial mesothelioma have been reported in the literature. Diagnos...
