ABSTRACT

A 50-year-old man with suspected lung cancer underwent endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) of his enlarged #4R lymph node for diagnosis. The patient was diagnosed with cT1bN3M0 stage IIIB lung adenocarcinoma. He presented with precordial pain 14 days after EBUS-TBNA, and computed tomography showed a pericardial effusion. Streptococcus gordonii was detected in the pericardial effusion, and he was then diagnosed with acute bacterial pericarditis. Acute bacterial pericarditis associated with EBUS-TBNA is a serious condition; therefore, it may acutely develop a few weeks after EBUS-TBNA and can affect the time of initiation of cancer treatment and other treatments. After examination, this disease can be cited as a differential diagnosis if symptoms such as fever or chest pain appear.
