abstract = {A 74-year-old man was referred to our department for work-up of a pure ground glass nodule (GGN) on computed tomography (CT). He was suspected to have lung cancer by CT scan, but no lesion was visible on chest X-ray. Chest tomosynthesis was performed before bronchoscopy, showing a clear GGN. We could not detect a tumor signal on endobronchial ultrasonography so we relied on the chest tomosynthesis image as a guide during transbronchial biopsy. The diagnosis of adenocarcinoma was confirmed on histopathology. In this case, transbronchial biopsy under the guidance of chest tomosynthesis was useful for the diagnosis of GGN.},
