Description
Summary:[3] had reported EBUS-guided paraspinal sampling (from the tracheobronchial tree) after failing to obtain tissue via computed tomography (CT)-guided approach and bone marrow aspirate and biopsy from the spine. [...]endoscopic ultrasound with echobronchoscope (EUS-B) approach was used, and after identifying the usual landmarks of liver and heart, the scope was positioned to clearly visualize the lesion [Figure 2] and aspirate was taken. Cartridge-based nucleic acid amplification test from aspirate showed Mycobacterium tuberculosis sensitive to rifampicin and cytology showed abundant necrosis and stained positive for acid-fast bacilli [Figure 4].
