RIGHT UPPER LOBE, ENDOBRONCHIAL BIOPSY: | |||
- SMALL FRAGMENT OF BRONCHIAL MUCOSA WITH INFLAMMATION. | |||
- NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY. | |||
COMMENT: | |||
The clinical history of a mass is noted. The tissue available at microscopy measures 2.5 | |||
millimetres. | |||
This biopsy does not show neoplastic tissue; however, the biopsy may not be representative | |||
of the lesion seen. | |||
