Abstract:

The paper deals with endoscopic treatment for primary pulmonary mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) with lesions and stenosis of the left main bronchus in a female patient initially diagnosed with lung cancer. This clinical example is used to consider the stages and sequence of endotracheobronchial surgical techniques to perform therapeutic and diagnostic procedures: laser destruction and total loop electrosurgical excision of primary pulmonary MEC to restore the patency of the left main bronchus, and to eliminate the risk of lung atelectasis. This case shows that in some cases, endoscopic treatment methods can radically remove the tumor, avoid open surgery, improve quality of life in cancer patients, and make it possible to consider additional treatment options in the future.
