چکیده

Thoracic manifestations of Neurofibromatosis include intrathoracic posterior mediastinal tumours, meningocoeles, kyphoscoliosis and interstitial fibrosis. Even though mediastinal neurofibromas are common, intrapulmonary neurofibromas are very rare. In this paper, we present a case of intrathoracic neurofibroma with intrabronchial extension. Lesions extending into the bronchial lumen making bronchoscopic diagnosis possible, as in this case is extremely rare. The case is presented because of its rarity.

The introduction of endobronchial ultrasound guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) changed the focus from the intrabronchial landmarks to the real life ultrasound images.

Intrabronchial display of hilar‐mediastinal lymph nodes by virtual bronchoscopic navigation system

The description of precise intrabronchial positions for the sampling of mediastinal-hilar lymph nodes is critical to successfully perform conventional transbronchial needle aspiration. Previously published maps of mediastinal-hilar lymph nodes were primarily drawn based on experts' experience. We generated a virtual map of the most frequently sampled intrathoracic lymph nodes from an intrabronc...
