Abstract
- An 18-year-old female was admitted because of dyspnea at rest. A chest computed tomography (CT) scan and fiberoptic bronchoscopy demonstrated a polypoid tumor in the left main bronchus, 0.5cm distal from the carina. Surgical resection of the tumor was performed, along with. A pathological evaluation and the immunohistochemical findings led to the diagnosis of a glomus tumor, which originated from the bronchus, an area where this type of tumor has rarely been reported.
