Complete obstruction of the right main bronchus occurred in a 76-year-old woman due to pulmonary metastasis from the extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma (EMC) which had been detected 5 years earlier. Treatment with Nd-YAG laser and biopsy forceps opened up the lumen of the right main bronchus 90%, and then X-irradiation was given toward the remaining tumor. The tumor disappeared almost completely following radiotherapy and such a state had lasted for several years until she died of old age at the age of 81. We judged that radiotherapy had been effective for this tumor. To date, the information concerning the effect of radiotherapy on this disease is insufficient.
一名76岁女性因5年前检测出的骨外黏液样软骨肉瘤（EMC）发生肺转移，导致右主支气管完全阻塞。使用Nd-YAG激光和活检钳治疗使右主支气管管腔通畅了90%，然后对剩余肿瘤进行了X线照射。放疗后肿瘤几乎完全消失，这种状态持续了数年，直到她81岁高龄死于衰老。我们判断放疗对该肿瘤有效。迄今为止，关于放疗对这种疾病疗效的信息还不足。
