A case report on expanding horizon of endobronchial ultrasound through esophagus.

We report a case of 70 years old man who has been referred from physician for the EBUS in view of hilar mass with mediastinal lymphadenopathy with pleural effusion. The endobronchial ultrasound through oesophagus (EUS-B) was done for thoracocentesis and lymph node cytology evaluation and ultimately endobronchial biopsy of hilar mass was done as rapid on-site (ROSE) analysis of lymph node was suggestive of necrotic tissue. The cytology report of lymph node and pleural effusion was positive for malignant cells. The final diagnosis was metastatic poorly differentiating adeno-squamous carcinoma.
