Abstract

Tracheal tumors are uncommon comprising less than 0.1% of all malignancies. Metastatic tracheal tumors, especially from the extrathoracic sites, are exceedingly rare. Ovarian cancer tends to metastasize to the serous cavities and the lymph nodes. One large autopsy study reported tracheal involvement in 1% of patients who had died from ovarian cancer. Other studies have not mentioned tracheal involvement at all. Since the main symptoms of cough, hemoptysis, or wheezing are nonspecific, patients may be initially treated for other conditions including asthma or bronchitis. Here we describe a metastatic tracheal tumor from an ovarian carcinoma that was initially treated for bronchial asthma.

저자들은 7년 전 난소암으로 치료받고, 최근 호흡곤란이 발생하여 기관지 천식으로 오인된 환자가 흉부전산화단층촬영과 기관지내시경, 경기관지 조직검사를 통해 난소암으로부터 전이된 기관 종양으로 진단받은 1예를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.
