Abstract
A 57-year-old male patient was admitted to our department with symptoms of dyspnea and hemoptysis, followed by a spontaneous expectoration of a small piece of solid tissue. He had two operations 13 and 3 years ago for perineal leiomyosarcoma and was on intermittent chemotherapy regimen until last year. Computerized chest tomography revealed an endotracheal mass with multiple metastatic nodular lesions at both lung fields. The pathologic examination of the expectorated tissue was found to be consistent with the metastasis of leiomyosarcoma. Solid polypoid endotracheal lesion adherent to the anterolateral wall and obstructing 70% of trachea was excised with the rigid bronchoscopy and argon laser.
