1 Thoracoscopic Fine-Needle Aspiration of Solitary Pulmonary Nodules
Michael Bousamra, Lawrence Clowry  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 64, Issue 4, Pages (October 1997) DOI: /S (97)

2 Fig. 1 Transthoracic insertion of the mediastinoscope allows direct visualization of the pulmonary nodule for fine-needle aspiration. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (97) )

3 Fig. 2 Photomicrograph of a “rapid pap” stain demonstrating adenocarcinoma. Mucinous cytoplasm, large nuclei, and abundant nucleoli are seen. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (97) )

4 Fig. 3 Upper thoracic computed axial tomograph demonstrates a spiculated left upper lobe nodule adjacent to emphysematous bullae. Preoperative percutaneous fine-needle aspiration was not performed because of the risk of pneumothorax. Intraoperative thoracoscopic fine-needle aspiration yielded poorly differentiated non–small cell lung cancer. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (97) )
