Echoic features of lymph nodes with sarcoidosis determined by endobronchial ultrasound.
OBJECTIVE Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is a minimally invasive technique with a high diagnostic yield used in the investigation of mediastinal diseases including sarcoidosis. Although previous reports have discussed the echoic features of metastatic mediastinal lymph nodes in lung cancer, few have addressed those features of mediastinal lymph node...
متن کاملEndobronchial ultrasound echoic image of pulmonary hamartoma
A 62-year-old man with an indicated chest radiographic abnormality was referred to our hospital for more thorough examinations. Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration was performed because of a mass at the left hilum. Endobronchial ultrasound images showed scattered high-density spots in a low echoic and mosaic density. The pathological findings revealed pulmonary hama...
متن کاملEndobronchial Ultrasound-Guided Biopsy of Mediastinal and Hilar Lymph Nodes
The article by Wang Memoli et al 1 in an issue of CHEST (December 2011) on the use of endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) to predict lymph node metastasis due to lung cancer was well presented and helpful for the interpretation and diagnosis of metastatic carcinoma. The authors discussed the widely accepted criteria suggestive of metastatic malignancy, including a positive PET scan and a short-axis...
متن کاملEndobronchial Ultrasound Elastography for Diagnosing Mediastinal and Hilar Lymph Nodes
BACKGROUND Pathophysiological processes, such as malignancy, can lead to the formation of stiffer tissue in lung cancers. Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) elastography is a novel technique for measuring tissue stiffness during EBUS-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA). The current study was conducted to investigate the diagnostic value of EBUS elastography for mediastinal and hila...
متن کاملEndobronchial ultrasound and positron emission tomography positive mediastinal lymph nodes.
Positron emission tomography with 18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose (FDG-PET) is more accurate than computed tomography for staging of mediastinal (hilar) lymph nodes. In the case of positive findings, tissue sampling of lymph nodes is required. The diagnostic/staging yield of transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) following endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) localisation was assessed in this particul...
