Langhans cells are often found in transbronchial lung biopsies or lymph node biopsies in patients suffering from sarcoidosis.
2.
Isringhausen underwent a 45-minute procedure that the team's spokesman, Jay Horwitz, said was a transbronchial biopsy.
3.
Small biopsies, such as those obtained via transbronchial lung biopsy ( performed during bronchoscopy ) are usually not sufficient for this purpose.
4.
Video-assisted thoracoscopic lung biopsy is the most definitive technique, but transbronchial biopsy has a yield of over 50 % and can also be effective.
5.
If the patient has had a transbronchial biopsy, doctors may take a chest x-ray to rule out any air leakage in the lungs ( pneumothorax ) after the procedure.
6.
Transbronchial lung biopsies from Metsovites with extensive PCs were obtained and sent to Mount Sinai Hospital in New York ( Dr . A . Langer and Dr . R . Nolan ).
7.
Transthoracic lung biopsies are preferable for diagnosis of constrictive BO compared to transbronchial biopsies; regardless of the type of biopsy, a diagnosis may only be achieved by examination of multiple samples.
8.
In patients with typical clinical and radiographic features, a transbronchial biopsy that shows the pathologic pattern of organizing pneumonia and lacks features of an alternative diagnosis is adequate to make a tentative diagnosis and start therapy.
9.
Outlines a proposed algorithm for the diagnosis of LAM . CT : computed tomography; TSC : tuberous sclerosis complex; AML : angiomyolipoma; VEGF-D : vascular endothelial growth factor D; TBBx : transbronchial biopsy; VATS : video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.
