This article provides a broad overview of tumors that can involve the tracheobronchial tree. For the most part, the clinical, radiographic, and endoscopic presentation of these rare tumors does not differ significantly from the more common tumors of the lung. Appropriate classification of many tracheobronchial tumors ultimately requires complete sampling and a thorough microscopic evaluation. The introduction of ancillary diagnostic techniques such as immunohistochemistry and molecular analysis will continue to refine tumor classification.
本文对可能累及气管支气管树的肿瘤进行了广泛概述。在很大程度上，这些罕见肿瘤的临床、影像学和内镜表现与更常见的肺部肿瘤并无显著差异。许多气管支气管肿瘤的恰当分类最终需要完整取样和全面的显微镜评估。免疫组织化学和分子分析等辅助诊断技术的引入将继续完善肿瘤分类。
