Bronchoscopy In Malignant Growths Of The TracheaCategory: BRONCHOSCOPY IN MALIGNANT GROWTHS OF THE TRACHEA Source: A Manual Of Peroral Endoscopy And Laryngeal Surgery The trachea is often secondarily invaded by malignancy of the esophagus, thyroid gland, peritracheal or peribronchial glands. Primary malignant neoplasms of the trachea or bronchus have not infrequently been diagnosticated by bronchoscopy. Peritracheal or peribronchial malignancy may produce a compressive stenosis covered with normal mucosa. Endoscopically, the wall is seen to bulge in from one side causing a crescentic picture, or compression of opposite walls may cause a scabbard or pear shaped lumen. Endotracheal and endobronchial malignancy ulcerate early, and are characterized by the bronchoscopic view of a bleeding mass of fungating tissue bathed in pus and secretion, usually foul. The diagnosis in these cases rests upon the exclusion of lues, and is rendered certain by the removal of a specimen for biopsy. Sarcoma and carcinoma of the thyroid when perforating the trachea may become pedunculated. In such cases aberrant non-pathologic thyroid must be excluded by biopsy. Endothelioma of the trachea or bronchus may also assume a pedunculated form, but is more often sessile.
