Successful Treatment of Airway Dehiscence in a Lung Transplant Patient With Radiofrequency Ablation.

otherwise informative study, however, included only a single case of benign lung lesion, a hamartoma. Traditional thinking holds that FNA diagnosis of benign tumors is a quixotic task. Our ability to diagnose PPL via FNA sampling supports a role for peripheral diagnostic bronchoscopy even for benign lesions. In addition, the present PPL case was associated with intrathoracic lymphadenopathy. In the absence of postobstructive infection, the mechanism of such adenopathy in the setting of benign tumor is conceptually not straightforward. Lymphadenopathy is easier to explain in BML because it involves distant spread of endometrial smooth muscle cells. Description of one prior case of PPL reports the presence of intrathoracic lymphadenopathy that was sampled by EBUSTBNA, which yielded adequate specimen consisting of unremarkable lymphocytes.11 We obtained similar results from lymph node aspiration. The finding of otherwise unexplained reactive lymph node enlargement in our parenchymal PPL case suggests a link to the lesion, but the exact nature of the connection remains speculative. The consensus reached by our institution’s thoracic tumor board was for elective resection of the patient’s PPL after optimization of his more pressing clinical problems. This recommendation was consistent with the typical management of PPL in the published experience, which has been either bronchoscopic or surgical removal with favorable results. There was an understandable desire to operate while the lesion is small and asymptomatic, and the patient is young and healthy. Pragmatically, resection would also serve the purpose of confirming such an unusual diagnosis made with small bronchoscopic samples. As of this writing, he has yet to return for follow-up with thoracic surgery.
