There were 143 males and 19 females. Analysis of results showed that the age of the patients ranged from 3 years to 85 years. 135 cases were lung tumours, 25 cases were mediastinal tumours and 2 cases were malignant pleural mesotheliomas. Correlation with histopathology showed diagnostic accuracy of malignant lung and pleural tumours was 97.1% while the accuracy of the exact categorisation of the lesion was 92%. Diagnostic accuracy of mediastinal lesions was 96%. There was no false positive report. No complication was encountered in this procedure.
