Early hilar-type squamous cell carcinoma of the lung resected by bronchofiberscopy surviving 5 years. 1985

H Nishiyama, and Y Nishiwaki, and T Kodama, and T Kitaya, and T Matsuyama

We record a case of early squamous cell carcinoma located in the hilar region of the lung, which was completely resected by multiple tumor biopsies through the bronchofiberscope. In this case, there was concomitant contralateral pulmonary tuberculosis which was treated by right upper lobe lobectomy. The patient had a long history of smoking and had worked for 27 years in a factory that used chromate. Bronchoscopically, there were no abnormal findings in the visible branches of the right bronchial tree, but an early stage squamous cell carcinoma lesion was found at the bifurcation of left B8 and B9+10 bronchi. After bronchofiberscopic excision of the tumor, the patient was closely followed-up by repeated bronchoscopy at intervals of 4 weeks to 6 months. The patient is currently free of recurrence 5 years and 3 months following the initial bronchoscopic excision and is judged to have been cured.
