title: [Endobronchial ultrasonography].
abstract: Endobronchial ultrasonography is a minimally invasive examination that offers new opportunities for exploring the mediastinum. It reaches and characterizes previously inaccessible lesions. Its relevance is largely supported by abundant and compelling literature, which explains its increasing medical application and the growing number of places offering it. This issue offers us an opportunity to review the key points of this technique and to report on some of our findings.
