Solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma (SEP) is a plasma cell neoplasm that develops outside of the bone marrow. A solitary, exophytic growth in the airway is an extremely rare presentation of SEP. We herein report a case of SEP presenting as an endobronchial mass. The tumor was treated by rigid bronchoscopic debulking followed by ablation using argon plasma coagulation. However, the tumor could not be completely removed due to its wide base. Adjuvant radiotherapy was administered as the curative therapy. A biopsy was performed on the resected specimen and the diagnosis of plasmacytoma was thereby confirmed...

Malignant central airway obstruction is a common problem in lung cancer. A symptomatic stenosis can often be treated successfully using endoscopy. Different approaches for recanalisation are available. The goal of treating exophytic obstruction is to remove the endobronchial tumour growth. Mechanic debulking, electrocautery/diathermy, argon plasma coagulation, laser resection and cryoextraction are techniques that can provide immediate relief. Cryotherapy, brachytherapy and photodynamic therapy show delayed recanalisation effects...

Primary anaplastic large cell lymphoma of the trachea is a rare tumor. Common complaints are dyspnea and cough that could mimic a partially refractory asthma in some cases. We report a 16-year-old female with an anaplastic large cell lymphoma (null cell type) in which tracheal involvement was presented with life-threatening airway obstruction and subcutaneous emphysema. After debulking the tumor by endobronchial curettage, the patient was treated with chemotherapy followed by local radiotherapy. She had no evidence of local or distant recurrence after 25 months...

Interventional bronchoscopy, together with other domains of interventional pulmonology, has experienced tremendous technological advances. Diagnostic applications include endobronchial ultrasound, which enables endoscopists to see through airway walls. White light videobronchoscopy, autofluorescence imaging, and narrow band imaging have enhanced the ability to detect early lung cancer at a preinvasive stage. Electromagnetic navigational bronchoscopy, ultrathin bronchoscopy, and virtual bronchoscopy increase the diagnostic yield of biopsy of small peripheral lung lesions...

AIMS: Pulmonary leiomyomas are rare benign tumors that may cause symptoms when they spread endobronchially. Traditionally they were managed surgically or through interventional bronchoscopy with the aid of thermal modalities to assist in debulking of tumor. We report the novel use of microdebrider bronchoscopy to debulk an endobronchial leiomyoma in a symptomatic patient. METHOD/RESULTS: The microdebrider successfully débrided the endobronchial leiomyoma. CONCLUSION: This modality can be successfully employed when oxygenation is an issue, preventing use of thermal modalities...

BACKGROUND: Endobronchial myofibroblastic tumors are neoplasms composed of clonal populations of smooth muscle cells and a variable lymphocytic inflammatory component. They represent a challenge with respect to diagnosis, classification, and surgical resection due to their infrequent occurrence. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed our experience with patients who had myofibroblastic tumors in the major airways over a 15-year period, in order to understand the incidence, natural biology, treatment, and long-term outcome of individuals with this type of neoplasm in an endobronchial location...

Primary sarcomas of the lung are uncommon, potentially aggressive neoplasms that need to be distinguished from other malignant pulmonary tumors and whose biological behavior is as yet not fully understood. Primary undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma was diagnosed in the right lung of a 66 year-old man, who has survived over 11 years after treatment with endobronchial tumor debulking by laser therapy and radiotherapy.

BACKGROUND: Main airway severe obstruction is a problem facing difficulty flexible bronchoscope because the patient is not able to breath smoothly under prostration, and death from suffocation is a frequent outcome. Managing the airway of patients with critical tracheal stenosis remains a formidable challenge to bronchoscopists. This study is to evaluate the application and efficacy of argon plasma coagulation (APC) and cryoextraction for the treatment of endobronchial neoplasma under rigid bronchoscope combined with flexible bronchoscope...

Anesthetic management of anterior mediastinal masses (AMM) is challenging. We describe the successful anesthetic management of two patients with AMM in which dexmedetomidine was used at supra-sedative doses. Our first case was a 41-year-old man who presented with a 10 x 9 x 11 cm AMM, a pericardial effusion, compression of the right atrium, and superior vena cava syndrome. He had severe obstruction of the right mainstem bronchus, distal trachea with tumor compression, and endobronchial tumor invasion. Our second case was a 62-year-old man with tracheal and bronchial obstruction secondary to a recurrent non-small-cell lung cancer mediastinal mass...

OBJECTIVE: In addition to use of a laser, argon plasma coagulation, electrocautery, or coring with a rigid bronchoscope, tumor debulking with a flexible cryoprobe is used for therapeutic bronchoscopy with an immediate effect for endobronchial pathologies. We performed this analysis to determine the usefulness, efficacy, and safety of the flexible cryorecanalization in a large population under routine conditions. METHODS: We identified 225 bronchoscopic interventions that were done as cryorecanalization with a flexible cryoprobe...

Photodynamic therapy is an effective technique for debulking endobronchial tumors over an acceptably short time-course; however, to be effective, numerous treatment cycles may be required to achieve the desired results. We present a case in which photodynamic therapy was used with curative intent to downsize an obstructing endobronchial non-small cell lung cancer in advance of resection via video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery with right upper lobe sleeve lobectomy.

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary lipomas are rare benign tumors that are usually found endobronchially. Undiagnosed, they can lead to the serious late sequelae associated with endobronchial obstruction. In the majority of cases, they are located in the first three subdivisions of the tracheobronchial tree, and therefore, they are amenable to endoscopic techniques for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. OBJECTIVES: It was our aim to retrospectively study the bronchoscopic management and follow-up of a large series of endobronchial lipomas, as well as defining the demographic and endoscopic characteristics of patients...

BACKGROUND: Seventeen patients with (M0) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) without distant metastasis were treated by preoperative endobronchial intratumoral chemotherapy (EITC) followed by surgery. Preoperative intratumoral chemotherapy was performed for the purpose of either reducing the extent of resection or increasing operability. Clinically, in the preliminary diagnostic bronchoscopic examination, the tumor was located in the main stem bronchus closer than 2 cm to the carina [T3] in 12 patients, or at the level of carina or bulging towards the trachea [T4] in 5 patients...

Twenty-two cases of pulmonary plasmacytoma have been reported in the literature and verified by immunohistochemistry or other diagnostic tests. The treatment for this rare tumor has included various combinations of surgical resection, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. We report a case of a middle-age man who underwent endoscopic debulking followed by laser ablation for a pulmonary plasmacytoma, which showed a prominent endobronchial location with clinical and histopathologic verification.

Brachytherapy allows the delivery of higher radiation doses, possibly leading to improved locoregional tumor control and subsequent prolonged survival. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the long-term clinical survival in patients with malignant airway compromise treated with endobronchial brachytherapy and to estimate possible influence of other factors on survival and to review complications of the therapy. In a retrospective study 55 patients with malignant inoperable tracheobronchial lesions underwent 71 brachytherapy treatments with 137Cesium...

REVIEW
A Banerjee, J George
Photodynamic diagnosis and therapy have exciting potential in lung cancer management. Fluorescence bronchoscopy enhances the detection of preinvasive lesions and early invasive carcinomas involving the central airways, whereas photodynamic therapy (PDT) provides an effective method for treating these lesions with preservation of lung tissue. However, the natural history of preinvasive lesions is poorly understood and so the value of treatment remains unclear. Although treatment for early invasive carcinomas'is not open to question, the possibility of undetected nodal disease means that PDT is unlikely to replace surgical resection in patients who are fit for thoracotomy...

The use of laser therapy for endobronchial lesions has met with general enthusiasm. From published series it is difficult to determine specific indications for its use, based upon patients' complaints, locations of tumor, and any concomitant therapies. Most reports do not provide sufficient information to permit adequate comparisons regarding improvement in symptoms and long-term efficacy. Exophytic lesions of the trachea and mainstem bronchi are most amenable to therapy by laser, and improvement in symptoms correlates best with improved patency of large airways...

Palliative therapy for previously irradiated patients with symptomatic recurrent endobronchial malignancy is a difficult problem. We have had the opportunity to treat 20 such patients with high dose rate (50-100 rad/min) endobronchial brachytherapy. Eligible patients had received previous high dose thoracic irradiation (TDF greater than or equal to 90), a performance status of greater than or equal to 50, and symptoms caused by a bronchoscopically defined and implantable lesion. The radiation is produced by a small cobalt-60 source (0...
