Popis: EUS-FNA has been reported to be a safe and accurate diagnostic method for investigating mediastinal lymph nodes (LNs) in patients with suspected lung cancer and sarcoidosis. The safety record of EUS-FNA in patients with mediastinal tuberculosis (TB) is unknown. We describe a patient with TB who developed mediastinal-esophageal fistulae after EUS-FNA of a tuberculous subcarinal LN.
