متن کاملThe endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle biopsy learning curve for mediastinal and hilar lymph node diagnosis.
The learning curve required for the endobronchial ultrasoundguided transbronchial needle biopsy (EBUS-TBNA) of mediastinal or hilar lymph nodes is unclear, and the evidence is scarce and contradictory. 1 4 Two of the evidentiary studies 2 , 3 only analyzed the learning curve of EBUS-TBNA for lung cancer diagnosis and staging and did not include the use of this technique in the study of lymph no...
متن کاملEndobronchial Ultrasound-guided Transbronchial Needle Biopsy for Diagnosis of Mediastinal Lymphadenopathy in Patients with Extrathoracic Malignancy
Mediastinal lymphadenopathy associated with extrathoracic malignancy or a metastasis of unknown origin (MUO) requires pathological verification. Surgical exploration or endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration is limited to application. We investigated the effectiveness of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle biopsy (EBUS-TBNA) for evaluating mediastinal lymphadenopa...
متن کاملMediastinal teratoma diagnosed via ultrasound-guided biopsy.
A 21 year old female presented with incidental findings of complex anterior mediastinal mass. This patient was otherwise healthy, without contributory medical, surgical, family or social history. CT imaging identified a right paracardiac mediastinal mass with components of variable attenuation, including fluid, soft tissue and fat components. Mediastinal mature teratoma was suspected. Cystic or...
متن کاملRescue Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS)-Guided Trucut Biopsy Following Suboptimal EUS-Guided Fine Needle Aspiration for Mediastinal Lesions
BACKGROUND/AIMS Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) and Trucut biopsy (TCB) are sensitive techniques for diagnosing mediastinal lesions, but it is unclear how either one or both should be used to obtain a pathologic diagnosis. The objective of our study was to evaluate whether EUS-TCB impacts the diagnosis of mediastinal lesions after the initial on-site review of EUS-...
