title: Transbronchial localization of small pulmonary lesions for thoracoscopic resection.
abstract: The localization of small lung masses at thoracoscopic operation is very difficult. A 67-year-old female with tiny pulmonary metastases of renal cell carcinoma primary was successfully treated by pulmonary thoracoscopic resection after transbronchial localization using a dye.
