Lung Cancer Compressing Trachea
Submitted by GPH on Sat, 2010-09-11 13:02
This patient presented with respiratory failure and “wheezing”. The image above demonstrates a lung mass (non-small cell lung cancer; white arrow) compressing on the trachea – slit like structure indicated by the black arrow. The patient had to be put on a ventilator. Tracheal stent was subsequently placed as a palliative measure.
