  • Title: [Transbronchial needle-aspiration cytology (TBAC) in fiberoptic bronchoscopy in the diagnosis of pulmonary coin lesion].
    Author: Frizzelli R.
    Journal: Acta Biomed Ateneo Parmense; 1984; 55(2):91-6. PubMed ID: 6234737.
    Abstract:
    The coin lesion of the lung is a frequent nearly always occasional radiological discovery and represent a diagnostic problem. But the drawing of a sample suitable for a cyto-histological study from the coin lesion can lead the physician to the correct diagnosis and to the fit therapy. Through the bronchofiberscope the sample can be obtained by transbronchial biopsy (TBLB), brushing, bronchoalveolar washing and now also by transbronchial fine needle aspiration (TBAC). Transbronchial aspiration (TBAC), devoid of hemorrhagic complications, is not a method apart; on the contrary it is complementary method for the diagnosis of pulmonary coin lesion.
