Surgical diagnostic procedures were done on 33 Nigerians (20 males and 13 females [mean age 47.0 years +/- 20.5 SD]) who presented with atypical noneffusive bronchopulmonary diseases between 1982 and 1988. Rigid bronchoscopy was done 16 times with or without mediastinal biopsy. Mediastinal biopsy was done through scalene, supraclavicular, or suprasternal approach or by anterior mediastinotomy on 23 occasions. Diagnostic yield and clinicopathologic concurrence for the 23 mediastinal biopsies were 91.3% and 95.6%, respectively. No deaths were associated with these biopsy procedures.
1982年至1988年间，对33名患有非典型无积液性支气管肺部疾病的尼日利亚人（20名男性和13名女性，平均年龄47.0岁±20.5标准差）进行了外科诊断程序。进行了16次硬质支气管镜检查，其中部分检查同时或未同时进行纵隔活检。通过斜角肌、锁骨上或胸骨上入路或经前纵隔切开术进行纵隔活检共23例。23例纵隔活检的诊断率和临床病理符合率分别为91.3%和95.6%。这些活检程序未导致死亡。
