Resumen

Se presenta un caso de carcinoma escamoso broncógeno, microinvasivo, detectado precozmente por broncoscopia y citología, con biopsias negativas y no visible radiológicamente. Se insiste en el origen del carcinoma escamoso a nivel de bronquio segmentario, en el hecho de la ausencia frecuente de metaplasia escamosa en los márgenes de este tipo de tumores y sus posibles interpretaciones, así como en el valor práctico de la citología bronquial como método diagnóstico. Se aboga por la puesta en marcha de programas «screening» en grupos de población de alto riesgo.

Summary

The authors present a case of bronchogenic squamouscell carcinoma, microinvasive, detected precociously by bronchoscopy and cytology, with negativo biopsies and not visible radiologically. They insist on the origin of squamouscell carcinoma at the level of segmentary bronchus, on the frequent absence of squamous metaplasia in the margins of this type of tumors and its possible interpretations as well as the practical value of bronchial cytology as a diagnostic method. They recommend screening programs for high risk groups of population.
