Abstract:
Endobronchial sarcoid lesions have previously been described and visualized upon bronchoscopy in adult patients with pulmonary sarcoid involvement. Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial fine-needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) has come into favor as the preferred method of diagnosis, but it remains a novel technique in pediatric pulmonology. We describe the first two known cases of visualized endobronchial sarcoid lesions in the pediatric population with pathological confirmation of sarcoidosis with endobronchial and EBUS-TBNA biopsies.
