ABSTRACT: A 67-year-old man admitted to our hospital complaining cough. Bronchoscopic findings showed tumor at inlet of the left upper bronchus. Left upper sleeve lobectomy was performed. Six years 6 months later, he admitted to our hospital. Bronchoscopic findings showed tumor at inlet of the right upper bronchus. Right upper sleeve lobectomy was performed. He received radiation therapy, and discharged from the hospital 2 months after the operation. It is quite a rare case that the tumor lesions, to which bronchoplasty need to be applied, develop at 2 separate locations. This case proves that sleeve lobectomy can be applied to 2 separate locations successfully.

ABSTRACT: Four cases of endobronchial metastasis in testicular embryonal cell carcinoma have been reported in the literature. We now present a new case, a 39-year-old male who underwent right orchiectomy for testicular embryonal cell carcinoma. Ten months later, tumor like shadows were identified in the left upper lobe on a follow up chest X-ray. Bronchoscopy revealed an endobronchial tumor mimicking a bronchogenic carcinoma in the left superior posterior bronchus. A metastatic embryonal cell carcinoma of the testis was histologically diagnosed. Left upper lobectomy was performed, and the patient is still alive 11 months thereafter.
