Endobronchial 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...

Endobronchial Hamartoma

Diagnosis of pulmonary thromboembolism with endobronchial ultrasound.

To visually convey the lack of influence of population size in figure 1, the size of the circles representing individual countries was varied according to an arbitrarily chosen factor, as directly proportional graphical representation would have resulted in gross visual distortion. Examples for the correlation between GDP and TB are shown in figure 1 for India, China and the UK. The regression ...

Surgical management of endobronchial hamartoma

to have mass lesion in the left main bronchus [Figure 1]. Fiber-optic bronchoscopy was done which revealed an endobronchial lesion in the left main bronchus [Figure 2]. Biopsy, however, was inconclusive, and therefore, a repeat biopsy with a larger chunk of tissue was done which also was inconclusive. The lesion was purely endobronchial, and in one of the biopsies, a suspicion for carcinoid tum...

Pulmonary embolus diagnosed by endobronchial ultrasound

Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) imaging is commonly used to evaluate and aid in biopsy of mediastinal lymph nodes. Pulmonary arteries are readily viewable with this type of imaging modality. We present a case report of a pulmonary embolism (PE) diagnosed by EBUS. Our patient had no smoking history and presented with respiratory and constitutional symptoms, urinary retention, and leg weakness su...
