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.
