Abstract
A 79-year-old man complained of cough and dyspnea. He had undergone resection of inguinal liposarcoma 3 months previously. Chest X ray revealed an abnormal mass shadow and chest CT showed a hilar mass extending to the lower trachea. Bronchoscopic findings showed that the tumor was a polypoid lesion in the right main bronchus, wedged completely into the right upper lobe bronchus. He underwent a right upper lobectomy and a partial resection of the right middle lobe. The surgical specimen revealed that the tumor extended into the right main bronchus. Most endobronchial metastases from non-pulmonary tumors are from carcinoma. This is a rare case of liposarcoma metastatic to the lung with endobronchial extension.
