Abstract:
About 2 years after right lower lobectomy for anadenocarcinoma in the right lung, an 80-year-old man had a reccurent tumor in tracheocarinal lymph nodes. Although concurrent chemoradiotherapy was performed, there was no change (NC) and the tumor grew back slowly. He was admitted to our hospital with exertional dyspnea and stridor 2 years later. The bronchoscopic microwave coagulation therapy was performed in the right main bronchus. After potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) laser therapy had been performed in the tracheocarinal lumen, an expandable metallic stent was performed. The postopertive course was uneventful.
