Diagnostic Value of EBUS-TBNA in Patients with Suspicion of Sarcoidosis: Retrospective Case Series

Abstract

We aimed the determine to diagnostic value and efficacy of endobronchial ultrasound transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) in suspicion of pulmonary sarcoidosis. We retrospectively analyzed 23 patients who underwent EBUS-TBNA for evaluation of sarcoidosis with enlarged hilar and/or mediastinal lymph nodes on thoracic competed tomography (CT) during the period of May 2016 to February 2017. In addition to cytologic examination, all of the patients EBUS-TBNA samples were also sent for mycobacterial cultures. Mean age of the patients was 43±14 and, 13 of them were female. Seventeen of 23 patients had a final diagnosis of sarcoidosis. One patient was ultimately diagnosed with tuberculous lymphadenitis and another one diagnosed with Mycobacterium other than tuberculous -M. avium ssp- infection. Diagnostic accuracy of EBUS-TBNA was 91.3%, and the rate of sarcoidosis was 94.4% in patients with granulomatous lymphadenitis. EBUS-TBNA is a safe and effective procedure in the assessment of patients with suspected benign hilar/mediastinal lymphadenitis. In addition to cytopathologic assessment, mycobacterial culture examination is playing a crucial role in differential diagnosis of granulomatous lymphadenitis.
