Abstract
Metastatic involvement of lung by thyroid cancer is common, although presentation with endobronchial disease is rarely encountered. When it occurs, threats to airway patency by luminal obstruction and haemoptysis may occur, requiring prompt recognition and intervention to avoid hypoxia and asphyxiation. Bronchoscopic evaluation is essential for both diagnosis and intervention. To our knowledge, we describe the first case of endobronchial papillary thyroid carcinoma elucidated using bronchoscopic biopsy followed by definitive management using argon plasma coagulation (APC) ablation.
