Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration of an intravascular sarcoma metastasis.

چکیده
The role of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) in the diagnosis of endovascular lesions has rarely been described. We report a case of EBUS-TBNA of a solid mass in the left pulmonary artery in a patient with synovial sarcoma of the kidney, which was performed without complications and led to the diagnosis of metastatic disease. EBUS-TBNA seems to be a rapid, minimally invasive, safe and effective diagnostic procedure in selected cases of endovascular lesions.

Endobronchial mass formation after endobronchial ultrasound–transbronchial needle aspiration mimicking implantation metastasis
Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) has been widely used for diagnosing intrathoracic lymphadenopathy. Here, we present two cases of endobronchial polyp formation after an EBUS-TBNA for suspicious malignant lymph nodes. An inflammatory polyp should be considered as a possible differential diagnosis for a newly developed mass after an EBUS-TBNA.
متن کاملEndobronchial ultrasound–guided transbronchial needle aspiration in the staging of lung cancer patients
OBJECTIVE Mediastinoscopy as diagnostic procedure for evaluation of mediastinum in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer has long been considered the reference standard. However, less invasive method has occurred. Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration came into widespread use and has resulted in controversy as to whether it is a good replacement for mediastinoscopy...

OBJECTIVE Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration is of diagnostic value in hilar/mediastinal (N1/N2) lymph node staging. We assessed the utility of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration in lung cancer patients with N1/N2 lymph nodes detected on (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography. METHODS Fifty lung can...
متن کاملIntrapulmonary schwannoma diagnosed with endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration: case report.
A 47-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for further examination of a lung tumor. CT of the chest revealed a round, well-defined 2.4-cm nodule in S2, adjacent to right superior lobe bronchus. Endobronchial ultrasonography showed a well-defined, hypoechoic tumor with echogenic capsule and posterior acoustic enhancement. Diagnosis of schwannoma was confirmed from the specimen obtained by ...
متن کاملEndobronchial Ultrasound-Guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration (EBUS-TBNA)
Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is an outpatient minimally invasive procedure which is increasingly used, over the last decade, as a technique to visualise and sample structures within and adjacent to the airways and the mediastinum. It is an evolving technique with many applications and is most widely used in staging and diagnosis of lung cancer and...
