AB A  80-year-old  male  developed  increasing  shortness  of  air  (SOA),  and  a  5-cm  left  hilar  mass  is  found  on  computed  tomography  (CT)  compressing  the  central  airway.  He  has  known  chronic  obstructive  pulmonary  disease  (COPD).  A  positron  emission  tomographic  (PET)  scan  identifies  SUV-positive  mediastinal  lymph  nodes  and  contralateral  smaller  nodules.  Magnetic  resonance  imaging  (MRI)  of  the  brain  shows  a  2.5-cm  mass.The  patient  does  not  wish  to  undergo  diagnostic  or  therapeutic  bronchoscopy.  Radiation  oncology  is  consulted  and  asks  for  a  tissue  diagnosis  before  any  radiation  treatment.
