 This is a case of a 48-year-old male patient who underwent radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal cancer at age 41. Thereafter, recurrence was not observed;but the patient was monitored, and based on a chest CT performed in 2009, an enlargement of the 10th lymph node on the right side was observed. Based on a PET,no abnormal accumulation was observed other than that of the enlarged lymph node site, and the patient was referred to our department. Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration(EBUS-TBNA)was performed on the site, using 22G and 21G puncture-needles. The tissue samples obtained using the 21G puncture-needle were larger than those obtained using the 22G puncture-needle macroscopically, and based on an HE staining, a number of large cell clumps were harvested. With regard to the tissue samples obtained with the 22G puncture-needle, cells were sparse and showed strong degeneration. Although immunostaining was performed, a primary diagnosis was impossible. On the contrary, for the tissue samples obtained using the 21G puncture-needle, it was possible to make a diagnosis by means of immunostaining, through which the patient was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer metastasis to the mediastinal lymph nodes. The patient thereafter underwent chemoradiation therapy. It is believed that, in diagnosing by means of EBUS-TBNA, it is important to take lesion sites and patient's medical history into consideration, and to select an appropriate puncture-needles.
