Diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma with cardiac invasion diagnosed using transesophageal ultrasound‐guided bronchoscopic aspiration

Abstract

Key message Transesophageal ultrasound‐guided bronchoscopic aspiration (EUS‐B‐FNA) allowed for minimally invasive and simultaneous diagnosis and evaluation of the degree of invasion by echocardiography. EUS‐B‐FNA may be useful for the evaluation and diagnosis of tumours with cardiac invasion.
