Two cases of endoluminar/endobronchial metastases (EEM) from a secondary extrathoracic tumour are reported. The patients, eight years after the curative treatment of colorectal adenocarcinoma, were examined exhibiting pulmonary symptoms with radiological findings in the chest and endobronchial lesions as an initial presentation. The use of fiberoptic bronchoscopy of endoluminar/endobronchial lesions may help in diagnosing the origin of metastatic spread in the presence or absence of a primary tumour.
报告了2例继发于胸外肿瘤的腔内/支气管内转移(EEM)病例。这两名患者在接受结直肠癌根治性治疗8年后,因出现肺部症状接受检查,胸部影像学检查发现有支气管内病变,以此作为最初表现。对于腔内/支气管内病变,使用纤维支气管镜检查可能有助于在存在或不存在原发性肿瘤的情况下诊断转移扩散的起源。
