The needle was introduced via the working channel of the EBUS through the bronchial wall, and the LN was aspirated under ultrasound guidance to obtain a tissue biopsy. A smear of the aspirated material was prepared on a glass slide, air-dried and immediately stained with standard hematoxylin and eosin for rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) by a cytopathologist. Three consecutive biopsies of a reactive LN were considered negative for malignant disease. The aspirated materials were also collected in liquid formol, and the cell block underwent a final histological evaluation by the pathologist. The final pathological diagnosis was the standard reference for positive malignant LN infiltration. Patients with negative pathology results on EBUS in whom malignant LNs were confirmed after surgery (mediastinoscopy or lung resection with systematic lymphadenectomy) were also considered positive in the sonographic analysis of the LNs.</p></span><span id="sec0025" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0085">Analysis of ultrasound images</span><p id="par0035" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">All ultrasound images were evaluated to determine the foregoing sonographic features<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0055"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">11</span></a> with the aim of validating a score predictive of malignancy.

In a similar study, Gill et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0030"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a> explored mediastinal LNs in cases of primary lung cancer using EUS; these authors found that only a round shape, short axis >8.3<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mm and distinct margins were associated with malignant LN infiltration. More recently, Schmid-Bindert et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0055"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">11</span></a> studied mediastinal lymphadenopathies, irrespective of underlying disease, and established a scoring system based on the sum of 6 positive criteria suggestive of LN malignancy; they described a high probability of malignant disease if the score was ≥3.

These results coincide with the data presented here.</p><p id="par0130" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In this study, 5 criteria for LN malignancy were selected for their simplicity, making them suitable for use in real-time situations. Although none of them in isolation was sufficiently specific for differentiating malignancy, as was also found in earlier studies, a score of >5 was associated with acceptable accuracy in terms of sensitivity and specificity in the retrospective analysis. In line with previously obtained results,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0055"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">11</span></a> heterogeneous echogenicity and the absence of CHS were the most sensitive factors in predicting LN malignancy (99%) and provided the best NPV (94.4% and 90%, respectively). It is interesting to observe that the real-time application of these criteria during the EBUS procedure improved both the sensitivity and the specificity of a score of >5 for predicting LN malignancy by 78.3% and 86%, respectively. Moreover, the absence of CHS, the shape and the diameter of the short axis ≥10<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mm were significantly different for non-malignant and malignant infiltration. However, heterogeneous echogenicity and a distinct margin showed no significant correlation during real-time evaluation, compared to the previous image analysis observations.</p><p id="par0135" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">A retrospective analysis of the ultrasound images showed that the presence of hyperechogenic density in the interior of the LN was the most specific sign of malignancy, but sensitivity was low, probably due to its low incidence.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0050"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span></a> Consequently, this criterion was not included in the combined scoring system. The unacceptable PPV of current criteria reviewed may be due, in part, to the relatively low prevalence of malignant LN infiltration in our cohort. A score of >5, meanwhile, was found to have the greatest sensitivity and specificity, and this may have several explanations: firstly, there is no single acceptable sonographic criterion for predicting LN malignancy<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0105"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">21</span></a>; secondly, no malignant lymphadenopathies, including reactive LN, with a diameter of ≥10<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mm and the absence of CHS on ultrasound have been described,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0110"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">22,23</span></a> indicating that these two features are non-specific for malignant LN infiltration.

Firstly, measurement of the LN axis is subjective<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0125"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">25</span></a> and depends on manipulation of the EBUS transducer for obtaining the maximum LN diameters. Secondly, biopsies could not be obtained for all LNs detected during the EBUS procedure due to the proximity of blood vessels or difficulty in introducing the needle through the walls of the airway due to, for example, fibrosis or malignant infiltration of the wall itself. Thirdly, EUS was not used in this study. A combination of EUS-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) and EBUS-TBNA is recommended for full evaluation of mediastinal LNs. This provides greater sensitivity and NPV than those obtained with each technique used alone.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0130"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">26</span></a> However, a recent randomized controlled trial looking at diagnostic accuracy has shown that the addition of EUS-FNA to EBUS-TBNA did not improve accuracy or sensitvity.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0135"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">27</span></a></p><p id="par0145" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">To conclude, the selected criteria (round shape, distinct margin, heterogeneous echogenicity, the absence of CHS, and short axis ≥10<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mm) are reliable for real-time clinical application. A score of >5 showed good prediction for malignant LN and may be useful for taking decisions regarding LN sampling during the procedure. Moreover, there is no single criterion that can be used to rule out malignant infiltration of mediastinal or hilar LN; however, the absence of CHS, a round shape and an increased LN axis are suggestive of LN malignancy.</p></span><span id="sec0065" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0125">Conflict of interests</span><p id="par0150" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Hanaa Shafiek has received grants from the <span class="elsevierStyleGrantSponsor" id="gs1">University of Alexandria</span> and the <span class="elsevierStyleGrantSponsor" id="gs2">Egyptian Ministry of Upper Education</span>, as member of ParOwn (The Partnership and Ownership Initiative).
