Pulmonary Embolism as a Finding During Endobronchial Ultrasound: An Occasional Occurrence or a New Element to Be Staged?

Abstract

In this report, we describe two cases of lung cancer-related pulmonary embolism (PE), both encountered while performing an endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS). We propose EBUS as a diagnostic and confirmatory method for PE detection during the staging of lung cancer.
