Résumé
Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is valuable for diagnosing pulmonary sarcoidosis. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic yield of EBUS-TBNA and cytology in sarcoidosis during the first 9 years at our institution. Patients who underwent EBUS-TBNA for suspected sarcoidosis between January 2011 and November 2019 were identified retrospectively. EBUS-TBNA was performed with rapid on-site cytological evaluation of the samples. The final diagnosis was based on the pathology and/or cytology results, radiologic features, and clinical follow-up findings. The yield rate was analyzed annually. Eighty patients underwent 83 EBUS-TBNA procedures for suspected sarcoidosis. In total, 136 lymph nodes were sampled. The mean number of lymph node stations sampled was 2.0 ± 0.6; the mean number of needle passes per lymph node was 3.5 ± 0.8. Sixty-five patients were diagnosed with sarcoidosis, with a total of 68 procedures. Nonnecrotizing granulomatous inflammation was detected in the EBUS-TBNA samples from 49/68 procedures (yield rate: 72.1%). Of 19 patients with sarcoidosis who did not obtain a pathological diagnosis with EBUS-TBNA, epithelioid cells and/or multinuclear giant cells suggestive of granulomatous inflammation were detected in five. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value (NPV) for pathological diagnosis of sarcoidosis using EBUS-TBNA were 72.1%, 100%, 100%, and 24.0%, respectively. On using cytology, the sensitivity and NPV increased to 79.4% and 26.3%, respectively. The yield rate did not increase until 2016. EBUS-TBNA is useful for diagnosing sarcoidosis. Cytology resulted in an additional yield rate of 7.3%, which improved as the number of cases increased.

BACKGROUND
Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is valuable for diagnosing pulmonary sarcoidosis. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic yield of EBUS-TBNA and cytology in sarcoidosis during the first 9 years at our institution.
METHODS
Patients who underwent EBUS-TBNA for suspected sarcoidosis between January 2011 and November 2019 were identified retrospectively. EBUS-TBNA was performed with rapid on-site cytological evaluation of the samples. The final diagnosis was based on the pathology and/or cytology results, radiologic features, and clinical follow-up findings. The yield rate was analyzed annually.
RESULTS
Eighty patients underwent 83 EBUS-TBNA procedures for suspected sarcoidosis. In total, 136 lymph nodes were sampled. The mean number of lymph node stations sampled was 2.0 ± 0.6; the mean number of needle passes per lymph node was 3.5 ± 0.8. Sixty-five patients were diagnosed with sarcoidosis, with a total of 68 procedures. Nonnecrotizing granulomatous inflammation was detected in the EBUS-TBNA samples from 49/68 procedures (yield rate: 72.1%). Of 19 patients with sarcoidosis who did not obtain a pathological diagnosis with EBUS-TBNA, epithelioid cells and/or multinuclear giant cells suggestive of granulomatous inflammation were detected in five. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value (NPV) for pathological diagnosis of sarcoidosis using EBUS-TBNA were 72.1%, 100%, 100%, and 24.0%, respectively. On using cytology, the sensitivity and NPV increased to 79.4% and 26.3%, respectively. The yield rate did not increase until 2016.
CONCLUSION
EBUS-TBNA is useful for diagnosing sarcoidosis. Cytology resulted in an additional yield rate of 7.3%, which improved as the number of cases increased.
