  • Bronhoskopska igelna aspiracija perifernih pljučnih infiltratov = Bronchoscopic needle aspiration of peripheral lung lesions
    Kecelj, Peter, 1965- ...
    Transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) is an underused technique for diagnosing a variety of lung pathologies. This prospective study included 37 patients with an undiagnosed periferal lung ... infiltrate. Bronchial lung biopsy (BLB) and TBNA of the infiltrate were performed under diascopic control. Malignant diseases were diagnosed in 23 patients: adenocellular carcinoma in 9, squamous cell carcinoma in 5, non-small cell lung carcinoma in 3, small cell lung carcinoma in 3, and metastatic spread from extrapulmonary malignant disease to the lung in 3 patients. TBNA was positive in 12 patients (52%), andin 2 patients it was the only procedure yielding positive results. Benign lesions were diagnosed in 14 patients: pneumonia in regression in 7, hamartomain 2, pulmonary tuberculosis in 2, posttuberculosis fibrosis in 2, and asbestosis in 1 patient. Methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus was isolated from one aspirate. In other benign lesions, TBNA was found to be of little diagnostic value. TBNA increases the diagnostic sensitivity of bronchoscopy in patients with malignant diseases of the lung.
