Use of microdebrider bronchoscopy for the treatment of endobronchial leiomyoma.
Clinical Respiratory Journal 2011 April
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. In addition, use of microdebrider not only reduced procedure time but also decreased the risk of airway fire and damage to adjacent normal tissue in our patient.
