All of them were normal. The scope was then inserted through the trachea into the carina, which was sharp and clear. There was a moderate amount of thick-thin secretions that were suctioned through both right and left main bronchi. The scope was then directed into the right main bronchus, and then the right upper-lobe bronchus with its subsegments was inspected. All of them were normal. Right middle-lobe and right lower-lobe bronchi with their subsegments were also inspected and were normal. The scope was then directed into the left side, where the left main bronchus was normal. Left lower-lobe and middle-lobe bronchi with their subsegments were normal. The left upper-lobe bronchus, anterosuperior segment, showed an anterior subsegment to have a bulging in one of its subbronchi. Under fluoroscopy, biopsy forceps were inserted, and several pieces of lung tissue were obtained from the area of the left perihilar lesion. Then brushing was done in the same area. Washing was also done in the same area. Then, in a separate container, several pieces of bronchial tissue were taken from the area that was bulging, anterosuperior subsegment of the left upper-lobe bronchus. All specimens were submitted for cytology, pathology, and/or culture. The patient tolerated the procedure well, with no apparent complications.
