Sarcoidosis is a multisystem disorder that is characterized by noncaseous epithelioid cell
granulomas, which may affect almost any organ. Thoracic involvement is common and …

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Real-time endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial
needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is a minimally invasive technique for diagnosis of …

Background: The diagnosis of sarcoidosis is not standardized but is based on three major
criteria: a compatible clinical presentation, finding nonnecrotizing granulomatous …

Importance Tissue verification of noncaseating granulomas is recommended for the
diagnosis of sarcoidosis. Bronchoscopy with transbronchial lung biopsies, the current …

Background The diagnosis of pulmonary sarcoidosis can be established by a variety of
techniques. Transbronchial lung biopsy is often the preferred approach, but it is frequently …

The role of pathology in the diagnosis of sarcoidosis is identification of granulomas in tissue
specimens and performance of studies to exclude known causes of granulomatous …

Background and objective: Standard bronchoscopic techniques (transbronchial lung biopsy
and endobronchial biopsy) provide a diagnosis in 70% of patients with pulmonary …

Sarcoidosis, a granulomatous disorder of unknown etiology, characteristically involves
multiple organs. However, pulmonary manifestations typically dominate. Chest radiographs …

The objective of the current study was to assess the yield of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-
