| Popis: | Here, we describe the case of a 67-year-old man who had been under surveillance for solitary pulmonary nodule for two years and was diagnosed with malignancy via electro-navigational bronchoscopy (ENB). Surveillance computed tomography scan of the thorax showed annual growth increments of the pulmonary nodule. In view of his Brock score showing a 35% probability of malignancy, the patient was subjected to ENB, and metastatic adenocarcinoma from the gastrointestinal tract was diagnosed. ENB was done using a machine on loan from Veran Medical Technologies. The procedure was successful, with no immediate or long-term complications. The diagnosis following histopathological examination was adenocarcinoma, and he was subsequently referred to our oncology unit for further management. |
