Bronchogenic carcinoma in situ on the carina eradicated by endobronchial biopsy.

چکیده
Squamous cell carcinoma in situ of the bronchus is a rare disorder in an isolated clinical setting. We present a case of carcinoma in situ located on the carina with excisional biopsy via a fiberoptic bronchoscope and no recurrence after five years. To our knowledge, this represents the only case of carcinoma in situ treated solely with excisional biopsy. This case further emphasizes the importance of securing biopsy specimens for all mucosal abnormalities and raises the possibility of limited excision as sole therapy for carcinoma in situ.

Comparison of bronchial brushing, washing and forceps biopsies in diagnosis of bronchogenic carcinoma
Five hundred eighty patients underwent diagnostic flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy: during June 1988 to March 1993 at the bronchoscopy center of Kerman university of medical sciences. Seventy six specimens were obtained from patients with bronchogenic carcinoma and 155 from patients with benign disease of the lung. The efficiency of brushing and washing techniques was compared with forceps b...

Since the development of endobronchial ultrasound-guided real-time needle aspiration (EBUS-rt-TBNA) no false positive (FP) cases have been described. We present the first FP case for EBUS-rt-TBNA secondary to a carcinoma in situ (CIS) in the bronchial point of puncture. A 66-years-old male was referred to our Institution because of a mass in left lower lobe. The bronchoscopy did not show any en...

متن کاملEndobronchial metastasis from resected renal cell carcinoma causing total lung collapse
We report a man presenting with dyspnea, cough, and hemoptysis due to left lung collapse from an endobronchial tumor obstructing the left main bronchus. Endobronchial biopsy of the tumor showed renal cell carcinoma, identical to a previous specimen of renal cell carcinoma removed by a radical left nephrectomy five years ago. The endobronchial tumor was removed by snare diathermy through a flexi...

Background: Testicular Carcinoma in situ (CIS), also known as intratubular germ cell neoplasia (ITGCN), is a pre-invasive precursor of testicular germ cell tumours (TCGTs), i.e seminomas and non-seminomas -the commonest cancer type of male adolescents and young adults- which can be diagnosed using a surgical biopsy. Infertility is one of the condition known to predispose to TGCT, but based on s...
