Bronchography is seldom recommended today to localize radiographically and bronchoscopically occult bronchogenic carcinoma. We report a case in which bronchography promptly localized such a tumor that had been occult to multiple bronchoscopies and chest computed tomograms (CTs). The patient is free of recurrence 32 months after lobectomy. Bronchography should be considered when bronchoscopies and CT fail to reveal a radiographically occult carcinoma.
如今,支气管造影很少被推荐用于在影像学和支气管镜检查中定位隐匿性支气管源性癌。我们报告了一例病例,支气管造影迅速定位了这样一个肿瘤,该肿瘤在多次支气管镜检查和胸部计算机断层扫描(CT)中均未被发现。该患者在肺叶切除术后32个月无复发。当支气管镜检查和CT未能发现影像学隐匿性癌时,应考虑进行支气管造影。
