Metastasen eines malignen Melanoms als ausgedehnte Raumforderung in der Trachea
2008
We report the case of a 71-year-old man, who was transferred to our clinic with rapidly increasing dyspnea. On examination by flexible bronchoscopy the trachea was found to be almost completely obstructed by metastatic masses of a malignant melanoma. After endoscopic removal of the obstruction, we inserted a covered nitinol stent which led to instantaneous relief of symptoms. Chemotherapy and local radiotherapy were instituted. During the next 9 months there were no signs of recurrence of the tumour in regular pneumological control exams.
