Abstract
Two patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) developed ''web-like'' mucosa that obstructed bronchi after concurrent chemoradiotherapy. It seemed that the orifice of the bronchi had disappeared. Since the pat ients were free of local recurrence and the histologic findings of ''w eb-like'' mucosa were negative for malignancy, we believe that ''web-l ike obstruction'' was additional sign of regional complete remission o f SCLC after concurrent chemoradiotherapy.
