Abstract

Abstract : Endobronchial ultrasound‐guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS‐TBNA) is being increasingly used in the diagnostic workup of mediastinal diseases. Here, we report a patient with cystic lesions located in the mediastinum, the sampling of which facilitated the diagnosis of renal neoplasm. This paper confirms the usefulness and safety of EBUS/TBNA on cystic lesions and describes a rare presentation of intrathoracic metastases from carcinoma of the kidney.
