Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has an essential role in diagnosis and staging of gastrointestinal and pancreatic malignancies. In addition to diagnostic utility, EUS is also valuable in therapeutic purposes such as drainage of pancreatic fluid collections, abscesses and control of gastrointestinal bleeding. We present a 25 year old healthy male with no significant past medical problems who was admitted with inter-scapular back pain and chest pain for several months along with night sweats. Patient also had decreased appetite, dry cough and denied any other associated symptoms. Patient has a 5 year history of smoking cigarettes, up to half pack per day. Physical exam was unremarkable. Laboratory work up revealed mild leukocytosis and elevated inflammatory markers with CRP of 12.0 and ESR of 90. CT scan of the chest was significant for a mass posterior to the esophagus, at measuring about 6.7 x 2.5 x 6 cm with anterior displacement of the esophagus. MRI of the cervical and thoracic spine showed a large prevertebral lesion extending into the posterior mediastinum with ventral shift of trachea and the esophagus, from C7-T5, 10.2 x 3.6 x 5.9 cm in size, with diffuse homogeneous enhancement. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) revealed a hypoechoic ill-defined mass extending 18 cm from the incisors to 25 cm from the incisors with a size of around 30 mm. EUS with fine needle aspiration (FNA) and biopsy (FNB) of the mass revealed acute inflammatory debris with histiocytes and multinucleated giant cells including double refractile yeast forms with broad-based budding, morphologically compatible with Blastomyces. There was no evidence of malignant cells and AFB was negative. Blastomyces antigen and antibody were negative. Patient was started on itraconazole with which clinical improvement. Blastomycosis occurs from fungus Blastomycosis Dermatitis which is transmitted by inhalation of air-borne conidia. Diagnosis is usually by sputum analysis and bronchoalveolar lavage with washings or biopsy of the involved organ is obtained. Amphotericin B and Itraconazole are the drugs of choice in treatment of blastomycosis. Only one other case of pulmonary blastomycosis diagnosed by EUS with FNA has been reported in the literature. EUS can differentiate tissue densities with high accuracy. Thus, EUS-FNA is a not only a very effective tool in diagnosis of mediastinal masses and work up of lymphadenopathy but also in diagnosis of pulmonary infections with atypical presentation.2135_A Figure 1.
