| dc.description.abstract | Central airway obstruction (CAO) is generally defined as airflow limitation due to >50 % occlusion and is most commonly due to malignant etiologies. However, benign etiologies, including herpes-simplex-virus (HSV) endobronchial pseudotumor, can occur. Due to the rarity of HSV causing airway obstruction, an evidence-based approach to the bronchoscopic resection and standardization of therapy after removal are lacking. Herein, we present a case of HSV pseudotumor successfully managed by argon-plasma-coagulation (APC) debulking via bronchoscopy and medical management with intravenous foscarnet due to failed treatment with acyclovir for previous HSV lesions. | |
