Abstract

A 71-year-old woman, diagnosed with adenoid cystic carcinoma 6 years earlier, was admitted to our center with hemoptysis, dyspnea, and stridor. Diagnosis of adenoid cystic carcinoma was established by a flexible bronchoscopy. During the procedure, endoluminal and submucosal portions of the lesions were resected completely and exclusively by Karakoca resector balloon. This new technique can be used for resection, dilatation, and tamponade purposes, and is easy, reliable, and effective. Further, this method eliminates the need for expensive laser equipment.
