Transbronchial lung biopsy is uncommonly performed in interstitial lung disease (ILD) and various non‐malignant conditions because of its low tissue yield and small tissue samples in defining histological patterns. A transbronchial lung biopsy is a procedure that uses a bronchoscope to remove a small sample of your lung tissue. A bronchoscope is a flexible telescope with a tiny camera so your doctor can examine your airways. Your surgeon passes a bronchoscope through your nose or mouth and down into your lungs.
