| Core Tip |
Endoscopic ultrasound effectively diagnoses causes of enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes (MLNs), including tuberculosis, anthracosis, and metastatic diseases, with over half of cases lacking chest-related symptoms. Factors predicting good diagnostic yield include MLN size > 12 mm, subcarinal location, use of fine-needle biopsy over fine-needle aspiration, and satisfactory macroscopic on-site evaluation (MOSE). Larger MLNs and optimal MOSE were the strongest predictors on multivariate analysis, emphasizing the importance of accurate imaging and procedural technique in achieving reliable diagnostic outcomes. |
