Significance of cellblock from EBUS-TBNA of neoplastic intra-thoracic lesions (n=40)

1 Malignancy was not detected on EBUS cytology but on cellblock 2 cases
2 Cellblock with ICC helped in subtyping of malignancy 15 cases
3 Cellblock helped in subtyping of malignancy on the basis of tumour morphology 4 cases
4 EBUS-TBNA with cellblock provided the diagnosis on the aspiration of the primary mass, while the biopsy of the mass was inadequate 1/8 cases
5 EBUS-TBNA with cellblock provided the diagnosis on the aspiration of the mediastinal node, while the biopsy of the primary mass was inadequate 3/10 cases
