EBUS-TBNA in a case of mediastinal lymphangioma

J Bronchology Interv Pulmonol. 2012 Apr;19(2):153-5. doi: 10.1097/LBR.0b013e31824d8d66.

Abstract

Mediastinal lymphangioma is a rare benign tumor that can be a cause of dyspnea. In our case, endobronchial ultrasound-transbronchial needle aspiration in addition to computed tomography imaging was a useful diagnostic tool in narrowing down the differential diagnosis of this mediastinal mass and to find a suitable therapeutic intervention.
