| Abstrakt: | We report the case of a 58-year-old female presenting with central airway obstruction leading to airway compromise thrice, first two times from endobronchial growth of typical carcinoid tissue and subsequently from granulation tissue at anastomotic site after left carinal pneumonectomy. Bronchoscopic resection of carcinoid tumor and granulation tissue was performed successfully with electrosurgical snaring through rigid bronchoscope. Cryodebridement using flexible cryoprobe of the tumor was done postembolization and of the remnant granulation tissue without any complication. A multimodality approach is required for favorable outcome as observed in this case. Competing Interests: There are no conflicts of interest |
