Abstract
A 57-year-old man with small cell lung carcinoma developed benign, obstructing endobronchial bands five months after external beam radiation therapy. We believe that this represents an unusual delayed complication of radiation therapy for airway tumors. An excellent clinical response was obtained after laser ablation of the lesion.
