Endobronchial Metastasis of Malignant Melanoma, Diagnosed by Bronchoscopy: Report of A Case

Endobronchial metastasis occurs in about 2% to 5% of patients dying of solid tumors of extrathoracic origin. These metastatic tumors can simulate bronchogenic carcinoma and presenting symptoms include cough, hemoptysis, dyspnea and wheezing. In most cases of endobronchial metastasis, the histologic...

Descripción
Sumario:Endobronchial metastasis occurs in about 2% to 5% of patients dying of solid tumors of extrathoracic origin. These metastatic tumors can simulate bronchogenic carcinoma and presenting symptoms include cough, hemoptysis, dyspnea and wheezing. In most cases of endobronchial metastasis, the histologic finding of the bronchoscope biopsy suggests the correct diagnosis. There are only a few reports of endobronchial metastasis from malignant melanoma. We report a case of malignant melanoma with endobronchial metastasis presenting with hemoptysis simulating primary bronchogenic carcinoma.
