Metastatic disease is present in up to 20% of patients at the time of diagnosis of colorectal cancer. The most frequently involved sites are the liver and the lungs.

Their clinical and imaging profile is similar to primary bronchogenic carcinoma. Tumor expectoration is an unusual manifestation of endobronchial metastases (as well as of the primary lung carcinoma). We report the case of a 75-year-old man with known liver and lung metastatic disease from colon cancer who experienced an episode of tissue expectoration. Pathology examination of the expectorated piece of tissue was consistent with colonic adenocarcinoma. Tumor expectoration is a rare event, with
