Abstract

Benign endobronchial polyps are rare manifestations, which presents a diagnostic dilemma for both the clinician and the pathologist. A 44-year-old male presented an asymptomatic endobronchial mass incidentally discovered on chest computed tomography scan during a regular health checkup. A bronchoscopic examination revealed a 5-mm-sized multilobular benign polyp located at the orifice of left lower lobar bronchus, and the polyp was removed using multiple forcep biopsies. The pathologic report showed that it was a fibroepithelial polyp. Herein, we describe a rare case of an endobronchial fibroepithelial polyp and provide a brief review of the published literature.

저자들은 증상 없이 건강검진 목적으로 시행한 흉부전산화단층촬영상 우연히 발견된 기관지내 종괴를 주소로 내원한 44세 남자 환자에서 굴곡성 기관지 내시경 검사로 기관지내 섬유상피폴립을 진단하고 치료한 증례를 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
