%X Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is an excellent method for primary lung cancer staging. Wedescribe a 66-year-old male who underwent EUS-FNA for the diagnosis of recurrent lung cancer. Two years after initial radiationtherapy followed by complete remission, routine follow-up imaging study revealed a mass in the right hilum. Trans-esophageal EUSrevealed a 1.3-cm mass and the result of EUS-FNA was consistent with non-small lung cancer. EUS-FNA can play an importantrole in diagnosis of recurrent lung cancer as well as primary staging avoiding the more invasive diagnostic technique.
