Endobronchial ultrasound-transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is recommended forthe diagnosis of malign and benign mediastinal lymphadenopathies and lesions adjacent to thecentral airways.
📌 3 Key Takeaways
🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Endobronchial ultrasound-transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is recommended forthe diagnosis of malign and benign mediastinal lymphadenopathies and lesions adjacent to thecentral airways.
📊
Key Findings & Data:However the diagnostic yield of EBUS-TBNA in diagnosis of lymphoma is weak.Additionally, the challenge of cathcing Reed-Sternberg cells in such a small sample size lowersthe sensitivitiy of EBUS-TBNA for diagnosis of Hodgkin lymphoma.
💡
Conclusion & Impact:A 64 years old male patient with multiple abdominal and mediastinallymphadenopathies with coinciding hamartoma and Hodgkin lymphoma is reported for presentingdiagnostic and therapeutic interventional methods performed for this unique coincidance.

Abstract
Endobronchial ultrasound-transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is recommended forthe diagnosis of malign and benign mediastinal lymphadenopathies and lesions adjacent to thecentral airways. However the diagnostic yield of EBUS-TBNA in diagnosis of lymphoma is weak.Additionally, the challenge of cathcing Reed-Sternberg cells in such a small sample size lowersthe sensitivitiy of EBUS-TBNA for diagnosis of Hodgkin lymphoma. EBUS-TBNA can be performedwith rigid bronchoscopy. A 64 years old male patient with multiple abdominal and mediastinallymphadenopathies with coinciding hamartoma and Hodgkin lymphoma is reported for presentingdiagnostic and therapeutic interventional methods performed for this unique coincidance.
