Normal lymph node size at Endobronchial ultrasound guided Transbronchial needle aspiration correlates to benign cytopathological diagnosis but does not rule out malignancy

Conclusions: Using the traditional cut-off of ≤10 mm for normal mediastinal LN size during EBUS does not accurately predict cytopathological outcome in a population referred for mediastinal workup for suspected malignancy.
