He has no pulmonologic symptom. He is a smoker with 75 pack-years. Thorax computerized tomography revealed a mass in left lung upper lobe. Bronchoscopy demonstrated an endobronchial tumor in left upper lobe, apikoposterior segment. Histopathologically diagnosis was endobronchial metastasis from urinary bladder carcinoma.
