ABSTRACT
A 45-year-old woman, who had been treated for bronchial asthma, was referred to our hospital with symptoms of dyspnea. Upon examination, we found the right main bronchus to be almost completely occluded by an endobronchial tumor. For the purpose of diagnosis and relieving the dyspnea, we performed a rigid bronchoscopic tumor resection with a high frequency snare. The tumor was pathologically diagnosed as a typical bronchial carcinoid, and a right upper lobectomy and wedge resection of the right main bronchus was carried out 1 month later.
