Endobronchial metastasis is defined by bronchoscopically visible extrapulmonary tumors with lesions histologically identical to the primary tumors. Carcinomas of the breast, kidney, and colorectum are the most commonly encountered solid tumors causing endobronchial metastases, whereas such metastases arising from the tumors of uterine cervix are relatively rare. While there have been many case reports on endobronchial metastasis of uterine cervical squamous cell carcinoma, there is only one reported case of metastatic endobronchial adenocarcinoma from the uterine cervix and this report focused only on endoscopic treatment. Herein, we report a case of metastatic endobronchial adenocarcinoma from the uterine cervix with discuss on the differential diagnosis.
