Abstract

Background. We herein report the first detailed case of locally advanced small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) with endotracheal/endobronchial metastases at the time of the diagnosis. Case. A 59-year-old man presented to another hospital with cough and abnormal findings on chest X-ray. He was referred to our hospital because of atelectasis in the left lower lobe and multiple discontinuous nodules in the left main bronchus on chest computed tomography (CT). A bronchoscopic examination revealed multiple nodules in the upper trachea and left main bronchus. We performed a biopsy, and a histological examination of these nodules revealed SCLC. We diagnosed him with limited-disease (LD) SCLC and administered curative chemoradiotherapy. The nodules disappeared on chest CT and bronchoscopy after treatment, and he has not developed any recurrence. Conclusion. This report highlights the possibility of curative treatment for LD-SCLC with endotracheal/endobronchial metastases.
