The mid to lower section of the left mainstem bronchus was displaced anteriorly and medially; this was also partly occluded by a combination of an external bronchial tumor which was eroded into the left mainstem bronchus. There was a 50% obstruction of the left mainstem bronchus, but the bronchoscope could be passed beyond the obstruction and the left lower lobe bronchus, with all segments and subsegments identified. Multiple biopsies, washings, and brushings were obtained from the left mainstem bronchus tumor. There was some bleeding around the tumor, even before the bronchoscope was advanced to the tumor, which was washed.How far was the bronchoscope inserted? 0 Likes
