A rare case of osteosarcoma metastasis to the bronchi caused respiratory failure in a 14-year-old. Early bronchoscopic evaluation is crucial for diagnosing and managing endobronchial metastases to improve patient outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Pulmonology
- Pediatric Surgery
Background:
- Osteosarcoma is a primary bone cancer typically affecting adolescents.
- Metastasis of osteosarcoma commonly occurs in the lungs, but endobronchial metastasis is rare.
- Respiratory symptoms can indicate serious intrathoracic complications.
