PINO ALFONSO, Pedro Pablo. Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchoscopic fine needle aspiration cytology. Rev cubana med [online]. 2019, vol.58, n.3, e1224. Epub 24-Jun-2020. ISSN 0034-7523.
Introduction:
The diagnostic confrontation of lesions suspected of lung cancer has changed in recent years.
Objective:
To describe the first case of lung carcinoma, diagnosed in Cuba by endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchoscopic fine needle aspiration cytology.
Case report:
A case of undifferentiated small cell carcinoma is reported. Diagnosis is obtained by performing a fine needle aspiration cytology of the mediastinal lymph nodes, transbronchoscopic and guided by endobronchial ultrasound.
Conclusions:
The use of EBUS-TBNA is a tool with high diagnostic yield, with few described complications and should be considered as a possibility in the study of lesions adjacent to the central airway.
