Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration of thyroid nodules: pushing the boundary too far?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) helps bronchoscopists attain cytologic specimens from sites beyond the airway with accuracy, ease, and safety. Research has fl ourished, and publications have included reports of biopsying not only lymph nodes for lung cancer staging, but also lung and mediastinal masses, TB-infected lymph nodes, cysts, and thyroid nodules. 1 5

Ectopic thyroid cancer diagnosed by endobronchial ultrasound‐guided transbronchial needle aspiration
We report a case of papillary carcinoma in a mediastinal ectopic thyroid diagnosed by endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA). In this case, the tumor was adjacent to the central airway; therefore, we attempted to perform EBUS-TBNA to obtain specimens for a diagnosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma. Surgical resection was conducted, and histological evaluatio...
متن کاملEndobronchial ultrasound–guided transbronchial needle aspiration in the staging of lung cancer patients
OBJECTIVE Mediastinoscopy as diagnostic procedure for evaluation of mediastinum in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer has long been considered the reference standard. However, less invasive method has occurred. Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration came into widespread use and has resulted in controversy as to whether it is a good replacement for mediastinoscopy...
متن کاملThe use of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration in the diagnosis of thyroid lesions
BACKGROUND Non-palpable thyroid nodules can be difficult to access by conventional ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration, particularly when they are intrathoracic. Many of these patients are subject to multiple follow up scans or invasive diagnostic procedures such as mediastinoscopy or surgical resection. We aim to describe the feasibility of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial n...
متن کاملEndobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration of hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes detected on 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography
OBJECTIVE Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration is of diagnostic value in hilar/mediastinal (N1/N2) lymph node staging. We assessed the utility of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration in lung cancer patients with N1/N2 lymph nodes detected on (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography. METHODS Fifty lung can...
متن کاملIntrapulmonary schwannoma diagnosed with endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration: case report.
A 47-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for further examination of a lung tumor. CT of the chest revealed a round, well-defined 2.4-cm nodule in S2, adjacent to right superior lobe bronchus. Endobronchial ultrasonography showed a well-defined, hypoechoic tumor with echogenic capsule and posterior acoustic enhancement. Diagnosis of schwannoma was confirmed from the specimen obtained by ...
