The Sonoelastographic Characters of Noncomplicated Bronchogenic Cyst: An Evaluation Using CP-EBUS

Abstract

Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) is a relatively newer technique useful in the mapping and guiding of the needle aspirates/biopsy of the mediastinal nodes and lesions. Sonoelastography attached to the latest-generation EBUS machines has enabled the mapping of the elasticity of the lymph nodes leading to better guidance while taking samples. We present the sonographic images and characteristics of a bronchogenic cyst visualized on EBUS elastography.
