Biopsy of a lung mass may be classified into 2 categories: non-surgical biopsy and surgical biopsy. Biopsy findings associated with lung mass will depend on tumor histology. Common types of lung tissue biopsy for lung mass include conventional bronchoscopic-guided transbronchial biopsy, bronchoscopic-transbronchial needle aspiration, endobronchial ultrasound-guided sheath transbronchial biopsy, and endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration. Common indications for biopsy in lung mass include suspected lung cancer and malignant features (lymph node involvement).
