Clinical Summary:

55-year-old female with no known
comorbidities presented with recurrent hemoptysis for one week, with a similar episode six months earlier. CT thorax revealed an endotracheal lesion causing significant luminal narrowing. Bronchoscopic evaluation confirmed an endotracheal tumour.
The patient underwent therapeutic rigid bronchoscopy with electrosurgical tumour debulking and cryoextraction, resulting in successful airway restoration and control of bleeding.

Final Histopathological Diagnosis:

Tracheal Hemangioma — a rare benign vascular tumour of the central airway.

Our airways are designed for one purpose—to allow the free passage of air. When a foreign body enters and obstructs the airway, it can lead to symptoms ranging from a persistent cough and breathlessness to life-threatening respiratory distress.

In such situations, prompt removal of the obstruction becomes a priority. Timely diagnosis, expert intervention, and skilled bronchoscopic retrieval are crucial to ensuring the best possible outcomes and preventing serious complications.

With experience in over 50 successful foreign body retrieval procedures, Dr. Rahul K. Jalan has developed expertise in managing a wide spectrum of airway obstructions. From aspirated dental fragments and denture pieces to jewelry and other unusual foreign bodies, each case requires precision, clinical judgment, and advanced bronchoscopic skills.

Restoring a clear airway means restoring the simple yet invaluable ability to breathe comfortably and confidently.

Thrilled to share that I participated as Faculty and Speaker at two enriching academic events recently- one which was dedicated towards Sleep Medicine, while the other focused on another branch of Pulmonology - Rigid Bronchoscopy !

🔹 Shilp Sleep Symposium – Ahmedabad

Grateful to Dr. Gopal Raval and the Philips Sleep & Respiratory Care team for the invitation to speak at the Shilp Sleep Symposium.
My session focused on “Utility and Role of Ambulatory Sleep Apnea Testing in comparison to Level 1 Polysomnography”—discussing real-world applicability, patient selection, limitations, and how ambulatory testing can bridge diagnostic gaps while maintaining clinical rigor.
It was encouraging to see active participation and thoughtful discussions around optimizing sleep apnea diagnosis in diverse healthcare settings.

🔹 Rigid Bronchoscopy Workshop – CIMS Hospital

Thankful to Dr. Amit Patel and the entire CIMS Hospital team for organizing an excellent hands-on workshop on Rigid Bronchoscopy.
The lecture on “Role of Rigid Bronchoscopy in Foreign Body Removal” highlighted its critical importance in airway emergencies, decision-making, technique, and team coordination—especially in high-risk and pediatric cases.
Workshops like these are invaluable in reinforcing procedural confidence and patient safety.

Academic forums such as these continue to reinforce the importance of continuous learning, skill sharing, and collaborative growth in pulmonary and sleep medicine.
Truly appreciative of the organizers, colleagues, and participants for the engaging interactions and commitment to clinical excellence.

Looking forward to many more such meaningful academic exchanges.
