Pulmonary large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) is a relatively rare subtype of lung malignancy. According to revised 2015 World Health Organization (WHO) criteria for the pathological diagnosis of LCNEC, neuroendocrine markers must be examined by immunohistochemistry. In this study, we reevaluated endobronchial ultrasound‐guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS‐TBNA) samples of patients previously diagnosed with LCNEC using the revised WHO criteria.
