A 49-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with dyspnea, a respiratory rate of 26 times per minute and a room air oxygen saturation of 69% after nasal inhalation of heroin. A chest computed tomography angiogram (CTA) revealed diffuse ground-glass opacities in all five lung lobes representing hypersensitivity pneumonitis

Rare Lesion

Endotracheal metastasis, a critical complication of primary lung cancer, is an extremely rare lesion. A 73-year-old woman who had previously received treatment for lung cancer presented to our emergency department with dyspnea. A chest computed tomography and nasopharyngolaryngoscopy showed an endotracheal mass below the epiglottis, obstructing the trachea almost completely. The patient had an emergency tracheostomy, and then the mass was removed via median laryngotomy. This lesion was proven to be a recurrent metastasis of lung cancer. Clinicians should recognize endotracheal metastasis as an important differential diagnosis in cancer patients presenting with respiratory symptoms.
