Endobronchial metastases from a primary embryonal carcinoma.

We report the case of a 24-year-old man who presented with chief complaints of shortness of breath and haemoptysis; chest radiography revealed complete collapse of the left lung. Bronchoscopy revealed an endobronchial tumour with complete obstruction of the left main bronchus. Cryosurgical excision was performed; tissue pathology confirmed the diagnosis of metastatic embryonal carcinoma. The patient underwent a right orchiectomy followed by a bleomycin + etoposide + cisplatin (BEP) chemotherapy regimen.
