Key result
EBUS-TBNA successfully diagnoses intravascular synovial sarcoma metastasis in the left pulmonary artery without complications.
Why the study?
The role of EBUS-TBNA in diagnosing endovascular lesions has rarely been described.
Case Report (n=1)
EBUS-TBNA may serve as a rapid, minimally invasive, and safe diagnostic procedure for selected endovascular lesions such as pulmonary artery masses.
The role of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) in the diagnosis of endovascular lesions has rarely been described. We report a case of EBUS-TBNA of a solid mass in the left pulmonary artery in a patient with synovial sarcoma of the kidney, which was performed without complications and led to the diagnosis of metastatic disease. EBUS-TBNA seems to be a rapid, minimally invasive, safe and effective diagnostic procedure in selected cases of endovascular lesions.

Dusemund et al. (2013) conducted a case report in Intravascular sarcoma metastasis (n=1). Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) was evaluated on Diagnosis of metastatic disease and procedural complications. Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration successfully diagnosed an intravascular metastasis of synovial sarcoma in the left pulmonary artery without complications.
