Abstract

Although osteosarcoma commonly metastasizes to the lungs, endobronchial lesions are very rare. We present a 54-year-old woman with symptomatic endobronchial involvement caused by advanced pulmonary metastatic osteosarcoma. Successful palliative management was achieved with the use of rigid bronchoscopy and laser therapy. Rigid bronchoscopy with laser therapy has not been reported previously as a therapeutic modality for endobronchial osteosarcoma. A literature review of osteosarcoma metastatic to the lung is provided, and alternative management options are discussed.
