Abstract

背景与目的 气管支气管转移(endotracheal and endobronchial metastases, EEM)在肺癌中罕见,国外文献报道可发生于手术切除后,但国内目前尚未见相关报道,本研究旨在总结和分析肺癌发生EEM的临床特征。方法 回顾2015年1月-2018年12月于北京大学第三医院确诊原发性肺癌并行支气管镜的患者,同时检索截至2020年2月PubMed检索系统中的病例,采集并比较两组患者的临床、病理、影像、支气管镜和预后等资料。结果 我院共有6例肺癌伴EEM入选,发生率为0.62%(6/967),均为初诊为肺癌时即伴有EEM。鳞癌4例,腺癌1例,小细胞肺癌1例。IIIb期1例,IV期5例。中央型肺癌5例,周围型1例。EEM在支气管镜下表现为肺癌原发灶之外的气道黏膜结节或息肉性病变5例、局灶性黏膜异常1例。转移至对侧支气管5例,至同侧支气管和气管各1例。中位总生存期为7.5个月。从PubMed数据库共检索到13例,其中12例为肺癌术后随诊胸部计算机断层扫描(computed tomography, CT)异常继而确诊为EEM。中央型9例,鳞癌8例,EEM在CT上表现为腔内结节10例,气管壁局限增厚2例,支气管镜下均表现为气道黏膜结节或息肉样病变。转移至气管10例,至对侧支气管5例,至同侧支气管1例。结论 EEM是原发性肺癌罕见的转移方式,可发生于初诊时,也可发生于术后,多见于晚期中央型鳞癌,预后差。

Background and objective Endotracheal and endobronchial metastases (EEM) is a rare manifestation in primary lung cancer. It has not yet been reported in Chinese literatures. The aim of this study was to summarize and analyze the clinical feature of lung cancer with EEM. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 6 patients who presented with EEM of lung cancer from Peking University Third Hospital from January 2015 to December 2018. With “endotracheal metastases, endobronchial metastases, lung cancer” as the keywords, 13 cases were retrieved from PubMed database until February 2020. The clinical, radiologic and bronchoscopic data were collected. Results Six patients were selected from 967 patients with lung cancer, and all were diagnosed with lung cancer and EEM simultaneously. There were 4 cases of squamous cell carcinoma, 1 case of adenocarcinoma, and 1 case of small cell lung cancer. One patient had stage IIIb and 5 patients had stage IV. There were 5 cases of central lung cancer and 1 case of peripheral lung cancer. EEM on bronchoscope examination presented as endoluminal nodular or polypoid lesion in 5 patients, and abnormal white bulge in 1 patient. 5 cases metastasized to the contralateral bronchus, 1 case to the ipsilateral bronchus and 1 case to the trachea. The median overall survival was 7.5 months. Totally 13 cases of lung cancer with EEM were retrieved from PubMed database. 12 cases were diagnosed during the follow up after lung cancer resection. There were 8 cases of squamous cell carcinoma and 9 cases of central type. Endotracheal or endobronchial nodules showed in 10 cases and eccentric wall thickening in 2 cases were seen on chest computed tomography (CT), which corresponding to the nodular or polypoid lesion bronchoscopically. 5 cases metastasized to the contralateral bronchus, 10 cases to the trachea and 1 case to the ipsilateral bronchus. Conclusions EEM is a rare metastasis of lung cancer, which can occur at the initial diagnosis of lung cancer or after surgical resection. It is often seen in the patients of squamous cell carcinoma with central type in advanced stage. The prognosis is poor.
