Abstract
Background: Endobronchial metastasis is an infrequent secondary location of extrathoracic cancer. Colorectal cancer is one of the most affected primary tumours. Case presentation: We report the clinical case of a patient who has had endobronchial metastasis of an adenocarcinoma of the colon, confirmed by mass biopsy. Surgical treatment was indicated after chemotherapy cures. The patient is currently asymptomatic 33 months after treatment. Conclusion: Endobronchial metastasis is a rare entity, occurring after years of primary disease progression. Surgery allows for prolonged survival and disease control.
