Three cases of rigid bronchoscopic removal of carinal masses: Case report

Tracheal tumors are rare diseases. They can cause narrowing of a central airway, a severe respiratory distress, and death. The objective of this case series is to highlight the role of rigid bronchoscopy in diagnosing and treating carina masses which are difficult to remove surgically. Tumor excisio...

description Tracheal tumors are rare diseases. They can cause narrowing of a central airway, a severe respiratory distress, and death. The objective of this case series is to highlight the role of rigid bronchoscopy in diagnosing and treating carina masses which are difficult to remove surgically. Tumor excision was performed by the rigid bronchoscopic intervention. Additional treatment was administered according to the diagnosis of each individual patient. After the procedure, patients’ symptoms were improved and stenotic central airways were reopened. Rigid bronchoscopy can be a good therapeutic option to reestablish airway patency and a bridge treatment for further definitive treatment.
