A quiet case. No dramatic symptoms.

• Initial bronchial cytology: no malignancy
• Lesion not suitable for CT-guided biopsy
• Patient travelled from Terengganu for further work-up
• CT: spiculated left lingular mass (4 × 2 × 2 cm)

🛠️ What we did
• Bronchoscopy: no endobronchial lesion
• Peripheral target only
• Radial EBUS performed
• Concentric lesion identified
• Forceps biopsy taken
• ROSE: atypical cells
• Final HPE: lung adenocarcinoma
