Metastatic endotracheal tumor from ovarian carcinoma

DE Westerman, JS Urbanetti, RA Rudders and BL Fanburg

This report describes a patient with acute airways obstruction and respiratory failure secondary to a large endotracheal metastasis from a primary ovarian carcinoma first detected seven years previously. Associated airflow obstruction due to mucus impaction contributed significantly to the development of respiratory failure. The tumor responded to radiotherapy, and radiologic evidence for tracheal obstruction was no longer present five months after irradiation.
