  • Title: Fiberoptic bronchoscopy in patient with Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas.
    Author: Gribetz AR, Chuang MT, Teirstein AS.
    Journal: Cancer; 1980 Sep 15; 46(6):1476-8. PubMed ID: 7417947.
    Abstract:
    Sixty-four fiberoptic bronchoscopic examinations were performed for 58 patients with Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas and radiographically evident pulmonary abnormalities. Diagnoses were obtained in 23 cases (36%). Examination of 12 lung biopsy specimens showed lymphoma and one, squamous cell carcinoma. Six patients had pneumocystis carinii; 2, aspergillosis; 1 cryptococcosis; and 1, herpes simplex infection. It is recommended that fiberoptic bronchoscopy be the first invasive procedure employed in the evaluation of pulmonary parenchymal abnormalities in patients with Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas.
