Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecological neoplasm in Italy and developed countries. Pulmonary metastases, though uncommon, signify advanced disease, with "cannonball" metastases being a distinctive pathological finding requiring careful management. Despite advancements in bronchoscopy technology, fundamental diagnostic procedures like Bronchoalveolar Lavage (BAL), Transbronchial Lung Biopsy (TBLB), and Transbronchial Needle Aspiration (TBNA) remain essential for evaluating bronchopulmonary diseases. These techniques enhance the diagnosis and staging of oncological diseases of the genitourinary system with pulmonary involvement. Traditional bronchoscopic procedures continue to play a vital role in managing lung disorders effectively.
