Bronchial Tumor
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
A bronchial tumor is an abnormal growth of tissue that originates in the bronchi, the airways that carry air into the lungs; it may be benign or malignant in nature.
Common symptoms: Depending on its size and location, it can cause persistent cough, coughing up blood, wheezing when breathing, repeated respiratory infections, or a feeling of shortness of breath.
Common causes: Some are associated with smoking and prolonged exposure to irritant substances; others arise without a clear identifiable factor.
Which specialist treats it? The evaluation and, if applicable, the surgical management fall to the cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon, supported by imaging studies and other tests. In the presence of a cough that does not go away or the presence of blood when coughing, it is recommended to have a professional examine the case in time.
