Kolon Kanseri Hastasında Bilateral Endobronşiyal Obstruktif Metastaz: Olgu Sunumu

Although lung metastasis is frequent, endobronchial metastasis (EBM) is rare. We are presenting a case of colon cancer related bilateral EBM since it is rare. A sixty-two year old male patient was admitted with complaints of cough, respiratory distress and haemoptysis continuing for 3 months. He had a history of smoking 40 packages in a year, an operation due to colon cancer 12 years previously and adjuvant chemotherapy. Right pulmonary aeration was not observed in the direct pulmonary graphy, homogeneous opacity was detected in the right hemithorax and deviation to right was observed in the trachea. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) revealed an endobronchial tumoral lesion obstructing the right main bronchus and tumoral lesions in the left main bronchus and the bronchus of the inferior left lobe. It was observed in an immunohistochemical study of the biopsy material, obtained from the mass within the right main bronchus, that the tumor sites were stained with CK20 and CDX2, and not stained with CK7 or TTF1. Histopathological findings were evaluated and found to be compatible with colon adenocarcinoma metastasis. Paliative 3600 cGY radiotherapy (RT) was performed on the right lung and mediastinum. FOLFIRI-Setuximab therapy was started since the metastatic colon cancer was of the K-ras wild type.
