Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration for thyroid cyst therapy: A case report

Abstract: Abstract. Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is of limited usefulness for diagnosing thyroid disease, and few studies have reported its use in diagnosing and treating thyroid cysts. The present study investigated a unique case of diagnosis and treatment of a thyroid cyst by EBUS-TBNA. A 67-year-old male presented with back pain. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography scanning revealed low-density signals in the right lobe of the thyroid. Needle aspiration bio… Show more

“…There are a few data concerning treatment using the EBUS-TBNA approach. Table 5 summarizes case reports of successful EBUS-TBNA treatment [36,[46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53]. These reports suggest that EBUS-TBNA could be a safe alternative treatment compared to more aggressive strategies.…”

“…No obstante, en los últimos años, se han descrito casos donde la PATB-USEB se ha convertido en una buena alternativa para el diagnóstico citohistológico mínimamente invasivo para aquellas lesiones no accesibles o en pacientes con un elevado riesgo quirúrgico. Los resultados son prometedores e incluso en un futuro la PATB-USEB podría llegar a ser la técnica diagnóstica de elección [11][12][13][14] Las imágenes A y B se corresponden con cortes axiales del estudio PET/TC 18 F-FDG: A) Las imágenes muestran un depósito patológico de FDG de aspecto hetereogéneo, que se proyecta sobre el nódulo tiroideo derecho objetivado en la tomografía computarizada. B) Lesión sólida con elevada captación de FDG en hilio izquierdo con signos de transcisuralidad.…”
