Endobronchial metastases (EBM) secondary to extrathoracic malignancies are very rare. Breast cancer, colorectal cancer and renal cell carcinoma represent the most common types of cancer leading to endobronchial metastases. They usually represent a late manifestation of other types of cancer and their prognosis is generally poor averaging a survival of 1-2 years in most case series. Due to their rarity, they remain a challenge for clinicians regarding whether they are primary lung tumors or not. This case report article intends to present a case of a young man with a left nephrectomy due to Clear-Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma, who developed EBM 7 years later and to summarize available data in the field. Furthermore, the utility of diathermic snare as a treatment approach for this entity is highlighted.
胸外恶性肿瘤继发的支气管内转移（EBM）非常罕见。乳腺癌、结直肠癌和肾细胞癌是导致支气管内转移的最常见癌症类型。它们通常是其他类型癌症的晚期表现，其预后一般较差，在大多数病例系列中平均生存期为1至2年。由于其罕见性，对于它们是否为原发性肺肿瘤，临床医生仍面临挑战。本病例报告文章旨在介绍一名因透明细胞肾细胞癌接受左肾切除术的年轻男性患者，该患者7年后发生了支气管内转移，并总结该领域的现有数据。此外，还强调了热圈套器作为该疾病治疗方法的实用性。
