Case Studies

Chondrosarcoma of the lobar bronchus with prolonged postoperative survival

PC Azimullah, JP Teengs, and EJ Boerma

Primary chondrosarcoma originating from the bronchus is very rare. We describe the case of a 71 year old man with a large chondrosarcoma originating from the left lower lobe bronchus. The tumour was resected and, in contrast to most patients with such tumours, this patient is well, without complaints or abnormalities on X-ray or computed tomographic (CT) scan, 3 yrs after surgery. Tumour characteristics, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment are discussed. Radical surgical resection is the treatment of choice.
