The patient, who had earlier been diagnosed with a rare type of lung tumor (carcinoid tumor) in the right main bronchus, had undergone radiation therapy in 2023. However, a follow-up scan last month revealed a persistent mass obstructing over half of her airway, leading to severe breathlessness and an unrelenting cough.
