We herein report patient with respiratory failure, whose mediastinal lymph node could not be diagnosed by endobronchial ultrasound‐guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS‐TBNA) under non‐invasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) but was successfully diagnosed by endoscopic ultrasound with bronchoscope‐guided fine‐needle aspiration (EUS‐B‐FNA).
