“…6 We reviewed the English-language and Japanese-language medical literature reporting endobronchial metastasis from lung cancer and identified 16 cases. 4,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] Table 1 summarizes the clinical characteristics of these 16 cases in addition to the present case (17 cases). All cases involved men (17/17 cases).…”

We report a case of squamous cell lung cancer with transbronchial dissemination in a 73-year-old man. Bronchoscopic examination revealed multiple bronchial mucosal nodules that existed independently of one another. We reviewed 16 previous cases of endobronchial metastasis in lung cancer. All patients were men. Among the reports that described the smoking history, most patients were smokers (6/7), and the most frequent histological type of cancer was squamous cell carcinoma (11/17). Although hematogenous and lymphogenous routes have been reported as metastatic mechanisms, no previous cases involving transbronchial dissemination have been described. Transbronchial dissemination may be an alternative pathway of endobronchial metastasis.

“…Endobronchial metastases directly involving the bronchial epithelium are rare. Endobronchial metastases from lung cancer usually develop at least several months after the resection of the primary site ( 23 ). The symptoms associated with endotracheal and endobronchial metastases regardless of the primary site are similar to those associated with primary endotracheal and endobronchial tumors.…”

The tracheobronchial tree is a system of airways that allows the passage of air to aerate the lungs and entire body. Several pathological conditions can affect this anatomical region. Multidetector CT (MDCT) helps identify and characterize various large airway diseases. Post-processing tools, such as virtual bronchoscopy and automatic lung analysis, can help enhance the performance of imaging studies. In this pictorial essay review, we provide imaging findings of various bronchial lesions manifested as wall thickening and endoluminal nodules on conventional MDCT and advanced image visualization and analysis.

“…Although the incidence of EEM has been reported to be between 2.0% and 50.0%, cases diagnosed after radical resection of primary lung cancer are extremely rare. [ 1 2 ] We hereby presented a patient of squamous cell lung carcinoma who was confirmed to have EEM 3 years after his radical resection of primary tumor.…”

“…[ 1 3 4 ] Metachronous recurrence usually develops at least several months after the resection of the primary site, while synchronous recurrence develops with the primary tumor. [ 1 2 ] The interval time of metachronous recurrence has been reported to be 8–52 months (mean, 25.8 months) and the incidence is about 0.4%. [ 3 ]…”
