Transbronchial pulmonary biopsy.
The diagnosis of diffuse pulmonary disease is a problem which frequently concerns chest physicians, and, even after full clinical, radiological, bacteriological, and physiological investigations, the aetiology is often obscure. A lung biopsy with histological examination may be necessary in order to establish the diagnosis. To obtain a lung biopsy, thoracotomy is generally considered to be nece...
متن کاملEfficacy of transbronchial biopsy in pulmonary vaculitides.
This study was performed to determine the value of transbronchial biopsy (TBB) in patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitides and mild-to-moderate pulmonary involvement. Included in the study were 19 patients with Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) and six patients with Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS) with evidence of active pulmonary disease but without gross paren...
متن کاملA case of pulmonary actinomycosis diagnosed by transbronchial lung biopsy
A previously healthy 73-year-old man was hospitalized with left complicated effusion and a consolidation in the left upper lung. He underwent a chest tube insertion and was treated with clindamycin but the consolidation remained after the treatment. We subsequently performed flexible bronchoscopy but it was impossible to make a diagnosis. Three months later, the consolidation had worsened so we...
متن کاملDiffuse pulmonary meningotheliomatosis diagnosed by transbronchial lung biopsy.
Minute pulmonary meningothelial-like nodules (MPMNs) are usually unique lesions in the lung parenchyma. Diffuse pulmonary meningotheliomatosis, which is presented as multiple MPMNs, has been less frequently described. MPMNs are mainly asymptomatic and are diagnosed after lung surgery or during autopsy. We report on a patient with multiple and bilateral pulmonary nodules, some of which were cavi...
متن کاملPulmonary capillaritis in Wegener's granulomatosis detected via transbronchial lung biopsy.
A 73-year-old woman presented to our hospital with scleritis, cough, and hemoptysis. Chest computed tomography showed a mass lesion, multiple ground-glass opacities, and nodules. Bronchoscopy showed a skip lesion of mucosal erosion with white necrotic substance; however, a biopsy specimen of the erosion yielded no characteristic findings. Transbronchial lung biopsy showed alveolar hemorrhage an...
