A 45-year-old woman, who had been treated for bronchial asthma, was referred to our hospital with symptoms of dyspnea. Upon examination, we found the right main bronchus to be almost completely occluded by an endobronchial tumor. For the purpose of diagnosis and relieving the dyspnea, we performed a rigid bronchoscopic tumor resection with a high frequency snare. The tumor was pathologically diagnosed as a typical bronchial carcinoid, and a right upper lobectomy and wedge resection of the right main bronchus was carried out 1 month later.
一名45岁曾接受过支气管哮喘治疗的女性，因呼吸困难症状被转诊至我院。经检查，我们发现右主支气管几乎完全被支气管内肿瘤阻塞。为了诊断和缓解呼吸困难，我们使用高频圈套器进行了硬质支气管镜下肿瘤切除术。该肿瘤经病理诊断为典型的支气管类癌，1个月后进行了右上叶切除术及右主支气管楔形切除术。
