Bronchoscopic Treatment of Endobronchial Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumors.

Abstract

Endobronchial localizations of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors are very unusual. We report the multimodal, bronchoscopic management of 3 cases, offering durable local control in all cases (including 2 patients who were definitively cured). Although surgery is usually considered the gold standard, therapeutic bronchoscopy should probably be considered as a frontline option for proximal lesions with limited base (< 10 mm2) because of uncommon metastatic spread and delayed local recurrence. Of note, 1 of our cases is a rare airway case after allograft hematopoietic stem cell transplant.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
