[Two Cases of Endobronchial Metastases from Breast Cancer]

Endobronchialmetastasis(EBM)is a rare complication in breast cancer patients. Herein, we report 2 cases of EBM in breast cancer patients. Patient 1 had pulmonary metastases that were treated with hormone therapy and showed long survival after achieving a CR, while patient 2 had multi-organ metastases and died 42 months after the diagnosis of EBM. If bronchial obstruction is observed in a breast cancer patient, early diagnosis of EBM via a bronchoscopic examination is recommended. EBM may not indicate a poor prognosis, and appropriate anti-cancer therapy with palliative intrabronchial therapies can prolong the survival in selected EBM patients.
