Abstract
PURPOSE: Pulmonary sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease often involving lung parenchyma and mediastinal lymph nodes. Current guidelines recommend a clinical, radiologic and pathologic approach for its diagnosis. Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is increasingly used to obtain tissue for diagnosis and commonly reveals the presence of non specific granulomatous lymphadenitis, non caseating granulomas or epitheloid cells. We assessed the diagnostic accuracy of these cytologic findings on EBUS FNA samples in patients referred for the evaluation of sarcoidosis.
