    Endobronchial metastases are rare, found in 5% of autopsies. This study reports five cases of tracheal and bronchial metastases without lung involvement, often missed by imaging.

    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonology
    • Oncology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Endobronchial metastases are uncommon, representing approximately 5% of autopsy findings in patients with widespread malignant neoplasms.
    • These metastases involve the airways, specifically the trachea and large bronchi, without primary pulmonary parenchymal dissemination.

    Observation:

    • The study presents five distinct cases of patients diagnosed with malignant neoplasms in various organs.
    • These patients exhibited metastases localized to the trachea and major bronchi.

    Findings:

    • A key finding is the absence of pulmonary parenchymal involvement in these cases.
    • Consequently, standard radiographic and computed tomography (CT) scans often yielded negative results for these specific endobronchial metastases.

    Implications:

    • The findings highlight the potential for endobronchial metastases to be overlooked due to negative imaging results.
    • This underscores the importance of considering endobronchial metastasis in the differential diagnosis of airway obstruction, even with unremarkable pulmonary imaging.
    • Further research into diagnostic modalities for detecting such metastases is warranted.
