Transbronchoscopic Lung Biopsy in Diffuse Pulmonary Disease

Howard A. Andersen M.D., F.C.C.P.1; Robert S. Fontana M.D., F.C.C.P.1; and Edgar G. Harrison Jr. M.D.2

Transbronchoscopic lung biopsy, in our opinion, can be a useful adjunct in the diagnosis and management of patients with diffuse pulmonary disease. Lung biopsy through the bronchoscope was attempted in 13 patients and pulmonary tissue way obtained from 11. In each of the 11 cases, microscopic examination of lung tissue was helpful in diagnosis and management of the problem. The only complication among the 13 patients was one pneumothorax which was easily controlled.
