Abstract :

 OBJECTIVE: To study the  various onchoscopic presentations of onchogenic carcinoma. 

METHODS: This was a retrospective study 82 patients with a confirmed cases of lung cancer diagnosed by various methods. The Bronchoscopic findings were categorized as endoonchial mass with complete onchial obstruction, partial obstruction, mucosal irregularity and external compression. The  lesions were further classified as per the location in the tracheoonchial tree.

RESULTS: 45 patients had Endoonchial lesion (54.8%). 7 patients had complete obstruction, 16 patients had partial obstruction, 14 had mucosal irregularity and 8 had external compression. Diagnostic yield was 84.44% as compared to 68% (25) in the 37 patients without endoonchial lesion.  48% (22) patients had lesion in right lower lobe. Adenocarcinoma was diagnosed in 51.1% (23) patients. CONCLUSIONS: Endoonchial mass with partial obstruction was the commonest presentation. Right lower lobe was most commonly involved and Adenocarcinoma was the most common histopathological diagnosis.
