Endobronchial adenoid cystic carcinoma.
A case of endobronchial adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lung is presented. This is probably the first report of endobronchial brachytherapy being applied for recurrent adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lung with a good response. We found that endobronchial implantation therapy is very useful in the control of endobronchial adenoid cystic carcinoma. In addition, a clinical history and options for treatment are briefly discussed.
