| Popis: | Tissue diagnosis of Childhood interstitial lung diseases is of paramount importance to outline management. A 10-year-old boy with prolonged cough, and computed tomography of thorax with features suggestive of primary Langerhans’s cell histiocytosis. Transbronchial cryobiopsy of lung using flexible cryoprobe, revealed a final diagnosis of Surfactant protein C/ABCA3 deficiency. Transbronchial cryobiopsy of the lung can provide adequate lung tissue for a categorical diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases in children. |
