Argon plasma coagulation for management of hemoptysis in endobronchial metastasis from soft-tissue sarcoma

Hemoptysis is a manifestation of a wide variety of diseases. Endobronchial metastases from nonpulmonary neoplasms are unusual. Among these causes, soft-tissue sarcoma is also discretely rare and scarcely documented. Argon plasma coagulation is a useful tool for the interventional pulmonologist that can allow control of bleeding from these lesions. Here we report a case of hemoptysis from an endobronchial metastasis of soft-tissue sarcoma. Argon plasma coagulation of the bleeding lesion was performed successfully.
