Abstract

A 47-year-old woman presented with significant respiratory symptoms and was diagnosed with a bronchial tumor. Histological analysis confirmed the tumor, initially treated with endobronchial treatment (EBT), was a typical carcinoid. Given the patient's improved pulmonary function and in accordance with current clinical guidelines, she underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic right upper lobe sleeve resection for the residual tumor. The combination of surgical resection and EBT may offer an effective treatment strategy for other bronchial tumors.
