We present a rare case of giant endobronchial hamartoma coexisting with lung atelectasis for more than 3 years. The small specimen initially biopsied via bronchoscope did not reveal tissue features, but some features were suspicious for squamous cell carcinoma. The lesion was removed completely using snare electrocautery combined with argon plasma coagulation via flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy. The patient made a satisfactory recovery, and a pathological diagnosis was made. This could be a useful option in selected endobronchial tumors.

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a malignant epithelial tumor originating from the bronchial epithelium that shows keratosis and/or intercellular bridges. Papillary squamous cell carcinoma (PSCC) is an extremely rare subtype of SCC that manifests with a unique intrabronchial papillary growth pattern. Surgical resection is still the first recommendation for localized noninvasive SCC. However, some patients are not candidates for surgical resection. With the development of interventional pulmonology, bronchoscopic interventional therapy has played a key role in the treatment of central airway tumors. Here, we report a case of noninvasive PSCC in the airway treated with an electric snare, argon plasma coagulation (APC), and cryotherapy. After removing the tumor by electrotomy, cryotherapy, and APC, the tumor was injected with Endostar 15 mg (3 ml) and cisplatin 20 mg (diluted to 3 ml with 0.9% normal saline) in six separate sites, once every 21 days. The tumor was eliminated, and the treatment was stopped after four treatment cycles. During the 1-year follow-up, there was no recurrence of PSCC in the airway. In this case, submucosal injections of Endostar combined with cisplatin was a feasible and effective endoscopic method for treating a low-grade intratracheal malignant tumor.
